Hi all, I am trying to find a way of setting TZ environment variable with DST support for southern hemisphere countries. Its giving a strange problem. In southern hemisphere countries, DST starts around Oct and ends around March. The DST time seems to be applicable from Oct until Dec31,19:00hrs. Then it reverts back to standard time.
For northern hemisphere countries, its working perfectly.(Here DST starts around March and ends around Oct. There is no year crossing DST period.) I am sending the system timezone at various times.. bash> export TZ="xxx5:30yyy4:30,M10.1.1,M2.1.1" bash> date 10010159 Mon Oct 1 01:59:00 xxx 2001 bash> date Mon Oct 1 01:59:47 xxx 2001 bash> date Mon Oct 1 03:00:10 yyy 2001 bash> date 12311900 Mon Dec 31 19:00:00 yyy 2001 bash> date 12311959 Mon Dec 31 18:59:00 xxx 2001 <----------- problem. It should have reverted to xxx only in feb. Please give me some idea for setting time zone for southern hemisphere countries. I am using 2.4.20 linux kernel from denx.I am running date command from busybox version 0.6 which in is using strftime. The processor is ppc860T. Regards, Robin Mathew
