Hi Thanx for your response. I am setting TZ variable as given in the documentation. export TZ="xxx5:30yyy4:30,M10.1.1,M2.1.1" Its working fine till Dec 31 23:59:59GMT. On Jan 01 00:00:00, its not taking DST into account at all.
Please tell me some way of setting it across an year boundary. Thanks, Robin Marius Groeger wrote: > Robin, > > On Thu, 6 Jan 2005, Robin wrote: > >> I have tried with the standard linux date too.
