So if leap seconds are arbitraliy added by scientist how does the Linux date command know when one is added. Since leap seconds are only taken into account when displaying human readable time, would some system library need to be updated with that information in it, when a leap second is introduced?
Is that something that's part of the timezone file? Say I've got a perl script, or PHP script converting unixtime to human readable time, will they have to be updated after a leap second is introduced? Or does some system library handle those conversions? -- Scott Baker - Canby Telcom RHCE - System Administrator - 503.266.8253 _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
