well enough. I'm not sure how that works though, never seen dc,
it does seem correct here in -0500 land.

Before I saw that I applied Simon's technique to bc...

echo "@$(env TZ='GMT-1' date '+(((%k * 60 * 60) + (%M * 60) + %S) * 10)/864' | bc)" 

seconds of hours in the day + seconds of min + seconds, all times 10, mod 864.

Thanks,

PS both statements above also works in Linux, if you have dc installed..
