It *is* easy. For example, on Redhat I just get the updated timezone files (I think they come with glibc updates, or something), sit back, and watch the time change automatically at exactly the right moment, and change back again exactly in the random moment that a bunch of Shinui and Shas politicians settled on. I don't have to do anything. [1] I then read the emails that pass around my company explaining how to change the time on Windows and what to do to fix incorrect hours in our calendar software, and giggle. [1] Well, not doing anything may be an exaggaration. I seem to remember that sometimes cron doesn't notice the changed time, and the solution is to restart it. Of course, a better solution would be to fix the bug in cron. I also seem to remember some issues with the times in /var/log/messages being off, but maybe this was fixed as I don't remember seeing this problem recently. -- Nadav Har'El | Wednesday, Mar 17 2004, 24 Adar 5764 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-790466, ICQ 13349191 |If you tell the truth, you don't have to http://nadav.harel.org.il |remember anything. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
