The internal time of the OS should be exactly on UTC - do you not have ntpd or xntpd running?
If the system clock is off by a few seconds then
You may find that the EDT <-> EST change occurs on the wrong day of the year - it just changed for the US.
For POSIX systems, changing TZ does change how the time is reported in any POSIX compliant command that looks at time values, like date or ls, for example.
Sorry I think someone already pointed out this but I couldn't find it.
Please tell me what is the difference between SunOS Version and Solaris Version.
What is the purpose of maintaining these two things ?

Does anyone know if there is a patch for SunOS 5.6 timezone update for new daylight savings times. I have looked and have updated my 5.8 machine. Can not find one for 5.6. I still use one box for a certian piece of hardware that can not use the newer versions. (6 Replies)

Hi
On several AIX 5.3 LPARs the timezone is currrently set to:
TZ=NZST-12NZDT,M9.5.0/02:00,M4.1.0/03:00
Daylight savings in NZ starts on Sun 28th Sep 2008, which is the fourth Sunday. Do I need to change my TZ variable to NZST-12NZDT,M9.4.0/02:00,M4.1.0/03:00 or will AIX interpret the fifth... (2 Replies)
A bit of searching on Google did not seem to yield any really helpful results on how to set vim to use k&r indentation style. I know Emacs has such a feature, but does vim? If so, how do I turn it on? I am just starting to learn vi, and when I am coding in C it looks really ugly without some sort... (2 Replies)
Hi All,
I am using a book to learn C++. Unfortunately the book, sometimes, uses the maddening phrase, #include <conio.h>, which is a M$ related file and not a part of STL, in some of its examples.
My question is: How would you modify the following code so it would compile and run on Linux?... (3 Replies)
What is the easiest way to find the date 6 month prior to the current date.
Example:

I need to find the 1st day of the month, 6 month ago, which is 2010/08/01. I have to count 1/1/2011 as a previous month, since the current day is past 1/1/2011. Is there any easy... (4 Replies)
Hello All
I’ve made the decision to switch my storage server from FreeNAS to Solaris. I opted to use FreeNAS as it has ZFS and until BTRFS is stable, it’s the best option (IMHO) for backup and network storage.
The switch was facilitated by the USB stick that FreeNAS was on got lost during a... (1 Reply)

DESCRIPTION
Display the current time in the given FORMAT, or set the system date.
-d, --date=STRING
display time described by STRING, not `now'
-f, --file=DATEFILE
like --date once for each line of DATEFILE
-ITIMESPEC, --iso-8601[=TIMESPEC]
output date/time in ISO 8601 format. TIMESPEC=`date' for date only, `hours', `minutes', or `seconds' for date and time to the indi-
cated precision. --iso-8601 without TIMESPEC defaults to `date'.

FORMAT controls the output. The only valid option for the second form specifies Coordinated Universal Time. Interpreted sequences are:
%% a literal %
%a locale's abbreviated weekday name (Sun..Sat)
%A locale's full weekday name, variable length (Sunday..Saturday)
%b locale's abbreviated month name (Jan..Dec)
%B locale's full month name, variable length (January..December)
%c locale's date and time (Sat Nov 04 12:02:33 EST 1989)
%C century (year divided by 100 and truncated to an integer) [00-99]
%d day of month (01..31)
%D date (mm/dd/yy)
%e day of month, blank padded ( 1..31)
%F same as %Y-%m-%d
%g the 2-digit year corresponding to the %V week number
%G the 4-digit year corresponding to the %V week number
%h same as %b
%H hour (00..23)
%I hour (01..12)
%j day of year (001..366)
%k hour ( 0..23)
%l hour ( 1..12)
%m month (01..12)
%M minute (00..59)
%n a newline
%N nanoseconds (000000000..999999999)
%p locale's upper case AM or PM indicator (blank in many locales)
%P locale's lower case am or pm indicator (blank in many locales)
%r time, 12-hour (hh:mm:ss [AP]M)
%R time, 24-hour (hh:mm)
%s seconds since `00:00:00 1970-01-01 UTC' (a GNU extension)
%S second (00..60); the 60 is necessary to accommodate a leap second
%t a horizontal tab
%T time, 24-hour (hh:mm:ss)
%u day of week (1..7); 1 represents Monday
%U week number of year with Sunday as first day of week (00..53)
%V week number of year with Monday as first day of week (01..53)
%w day of week (0..6); 0 represents Sunday
%W week number of year with Monday as first day of week (00..53)
%x locale's date representation (mm/dd/yy)
%X locale's time representation (%H:%M:%S)
%y last two digits of year (00..99)
%Y year (1970...)
%z RFC-822 style numeric timezone (-0500) (a nonstandard extension)
%Z time zone (e.g., EDT), or nothing if no time zone is determinable
By default, date pads numeric fields with zeroes. GNU date recognizes the following modifiers between `%' and a numeric directive.
`-' (hyphen) do not pad the field `_' (underscore) pad the field with spaces
ENVIRONMENT
TZ Specifies the timezone, unless overridden by command line parameters. If neither is specified, the setting from /etc/localtime is
used.
