Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Help with touch: bad time specification Post 302835957 by rbatte1 on Tuesday 23rd of July 2013 10:22:33 AM

Can you show us the output from
Code:
echo ${TTIME}

You could also adjust the timezone value $TZ This will adjust your current session to give you a variation of the clock based on the real time your server holds (actually against GMT / UTC / Zulu depending how you see it)

So if your time zone is:-
Code:
echo $TZ
GMT0BST

You can set it to:-
Code:
TZ=GMT1BST

Then run your date commands to get the values and then reset the original TZ before running touch. You will probably have a different TZ to mine, but add one to the number early on.

Code:
Orig_TZ="$TZ"
TZ=GMT1BST               # Adjust to suit, of course
date '+%m %d %H'|read MM DD HH
TZ=$Orig_TZ
touch -t ${MM}${DD}${HH}00 ${SSFILE}



I hope that this helps

NAME
Locale::Codes::LangExt - standard codes for language extension identification SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Codes::LangExt; $lext = code2langext('acm'); # $lext gets 'Mesopotamian Arabic' $code = langext2code('Mesopotamian Arabic'); # $code gets 'acm' @codes = all_langext_codes(); @names = all_langext_names(); DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Codes::LangExt" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language extensions, such as those as defined in the IANA language registry. Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default IANA language registry codes will be used. SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language extensions. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant that is automatically exported by this module. For example, the two are equivalent: $lext = code2langext('acm','alpha'); $lext = code2langext('acm',LOCALE_LANGEXT_ALPHA); The codesets currently supported are: alpha This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from the IANA language registry, such as 'acm' for Mesopotamian Arabic. This is the default code set. ROUTINES
code2langext ( CODE [,CODESET] ) langext2code ( NAME [,CODESET] ) langext_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 ) all_langext_codes ( [CODESET] ) all_langext_names ( [CODESET] ) Locale::Codes::LangExt::rename_langext ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] ) Locale::Codes::LangExt::add_langext ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] ) Locale::Codes::LangExt::delete_langext ( CODE [,CODESET] ) Locale::Codes::LangExt::add_langext_alias ( NAME ,NEW_NAME ) Locale::Codes::LangExt::delete_langext_alias ( NAME ) Locale::Codes::LangExt::rename_langext_code ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] ) Locale::Codes::LangExt::add_langext_code_alias ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] ) Locale::Codes::LangExt::delete_langext_code_alias ( CODE [,CODESET] ) These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
