Thanks for the report. It is most appreciated. However sh-utils-2.0 is very old. In fact many bugs were fixed in 2.0.11 (or somewhere around there). This entry is in the FAQ. Look for "date command is not working right". http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/ And since then it has all been rolled into the coreutils package. Here are the source locations of the current packages. STABLE ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.0.tar.gz ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.0.tar.bz2 (coreutils is the union of fileutils, textutils, and sh-utils) BETA ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.0.91.tar.gz ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.0.91.tar.bz2 > (from the SuSE 8.0 distribution) Interesting. I thought they had shipped the 2.0.11 version. Guess not! I am sure their updates include newer versions. If you could check their site for updates I am confident it would have the fix for your problem. > Bug description: > ---------------- > Wenn called in the form > date -d <string> > the time zone "CEST" in the string > is recognized as +0100 instead of +0200 > > Example: > === cat === > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> date > Wed Sep 24 20:57:15 CEST 2003 > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> date -d "Wed Sep 24 20:57:15 CEST 2003" > Wed Sep 24 21:57:15 CEST 2003 > === cat === > In the second call you can see the time displayed > is 21:57 instead of 20:57. I just tried this using the newer date command I get the following result. TZ=CEST date -d "Wed Sep 24 20:57:15 CEST 2003" Wed Sep 24 20:57:15 CEST 2003 Bob _______________________________________________ Bug-sh-utils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-sh-utils
