Dear leapers, I'm trying to write a shell script, to be run on an ordinary Debian Jessie system, which needs to know the current TAI time. +/- 1 second is fine.
I was under the impression that TZ='right/UTC' date would return the TAI. However, it appears to be out by one minute: $ TZ='right/UTC' date; date -u Mon Jun 22 21:00:29 UTC 2015 Mon Jun 22 21:00:54 UTC 2015 I would expect the first line to instead be Mon Jun 22 21:01:29 UTC 2015 Am I using the 'right' timezone incorrectly, missing something else, or is there an error in the TZ database? Thanks for any suggestions, Henry _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] https://pairlist6.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
