# date -s 27 MAR 2009 02:54:00 date: invalid date `27 MAR 2009 02:54:00' However.. # date -s 27 MAR 2009 03:00:00 Fri Mar 27 03:00:00 IDT 2009 Why is it invalid?? This is the start of summer time in Israel, so this hour does not exist. From http://www.gov.il/FirstGov/NewsEng/NewsEng_DaylightSavingTime09.htm Daylight Saving Time will begin in Israel on the night between Thursday, March 26th, and Friday, March 27th, at 2:00 a.m. At that time the clock will be moved forward one hour, from 2:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. Jason ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
