Hello, I have systems running RedHat 9, Fedora Core 1 and 2, and on all of them I'm having trouble with the date program.
When I give the command: date --date="1/1/1970 00:00:`date +"%s"`" Shouldn't this give me the current time? instead, on a RedHat 9 and a Fedora Core 1 system I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# date ; date --date="1/1/1970 00:00:`date +"%s"`" Sun Jul 25 12:49:32 PDT 2004 Sun Jul 25 20:49:32 PDT 2004 and on a Fedora Core 2 system I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cgi-bin]# date ; date --date="1/1/1970 00:00:`date +"%s"`" Sun Jul 25 12:50:44 PDT 2004 Thu Jan 1 00:00:59 PST 1970 It's an uneasy feeling when you can't rely on the time. Thanks for listening. --alaw _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
