Having logs in UTC avoid this. Is the task of the program that parses
the log to show (if needed) the time in your current timezone.
And what if I parse the log with my own eyes without a software parser?
Then I also want to see the local time without calculating the
timezone by myself.
Oh nothing to do (report to upstream :P)
No problem, use timezone on logs, just keep in mind the holes and
duplicated times, during DST change.
I think in a desktop system, yes. But if you are "server", users
wants your timezone (from where are conected) instead of local
timezone of the server. Or I am missing something?
I guess you're missing something, because on servers the timezone
setting is only for the server and this is also located only at one
place at a time and the timezone data is used to set the server's
timestamps. The users' timezone is usually set at their clients which
connect to these servers.
Depends on client/server of course.
If the server needs to store files from different countries it should
set the timezone to UTC anyway I guess.
Naturally, avoinding lots of issues.
