I was thinking of adding %z as an option to log_line prefix, so to get the current output you would do '%t %z'. I was not suggesting changing the %Z passed to strftime if they ask for timezone. > not thrilled about institutionalizing such a fix for a platform-specific > issue that might go away later (if we switch to using our own timezone > code here, for instance).

Yes, we could go that way too. The decision is a platform-specific change or omitting it for all outputs. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
