whist using "date" in a bash script there seems to be a problem returning the
hour for 09:20
t_hr=$(date +%l) (small L) does not return "9" from 09:20 or any time between
09:00 and 09:30
t_hr=$(date +%-I) works fine
I needed the hour with out the padded zero
I can't reproduce this:
$ date -d 09:00
Wed Jul 8 09:00:00 IST 2009
p...@dietofworms:~$ date -d 09:00 +%l
9
Please try the following commands and report the results:
date --version
date 08:50 +%l
date 09:00 +%l
date 09:15 +%l
date 09:30 %+l
date 09:40 +%l
env -i date -u -d 09:00 +%l
Cheers,
Phil
