RE: Instance dates

The system clock is used to determine the time - aka the time(2) system call. Since the system clock only has one value at any given time, it will not be possible to do very much in the way of testing with different times for different instances. To a limited extent, you can confuse things by playing with the TZ environment variable, basically by using time offsets which are large multiples of 24, but there's typically a maximum offset beyond which you can't cheat - and it is probably in the hundreds of hours rather than thousands or larger...

Does anyone know how the date is derived and if it possible to remap the command.
