Yes exactly.

When I tried to set up my dashboard fest script to start submitting
builds immediately after the start of the dashboard fest, which starts
and ends after my bedtime, I noticed that "date" was rejecting the time
string.

Apparently "date" will reject any DATE STRING where the  daylight saving
time is EST when it should be EDT. The real complexity of something
which seems as simple as "a program to show me the date" amazes me.

#!/bin/bash

StartOfDBFestString="Sunday June 20 2010 9:01pm EDT"
EndOfDBFestString="Monday June 21 2010 9:00pm EDT"

StartOfDBFest=`date --date="$StartOfDBFestString" +%s`
EndOfDBFest=`date --date="$EndOfDBFestString" +%s`

CTEST=/opt/CMake-2.8.1/bin/ctest

NOW=`date +%s`
while [ $NOW -le $StartOfDBFest ]
do
  sleep 60
  NOW=`date +%s`
done

while [ $NOW -le $EndOfDBFest ]
do
  $CTEST -V -S itk_fest.cmake
  NOW=`date +%s`
done
