So as I write this today is two days after the clocks go back here in the UK. I have a script that worked last week. Yesterday it developed a bug. I eventually found the culprit is Gnu Date.
So given a time, Gnu date converts it in the local timezone. But apparently if you force date arithmetic on it Gnu date shifts into summertime. I haven't done a thorough investigation into how far this goes. A quick google search didn't find anything.
Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon? Can anyone else reproduce it? Is this a known bug, or should I notify the Gnu Date maintainers?
I know there are some posts on getting the time with milliseconds included and I realize unix may not be the best on this.
I have seem some posts where its advised to install the GNU date.
Any one know where I can download this as I am struggling to find it.
Alternatively - if you have... (5 Replies)
Should work in any shell, but requires GNU date, although GNU date seems only to be happy for input dates between 1902 and 2037, inclusive (49673 days).
Assume $a and $b hold two dates, e.g.
set a=2010-03-27
set b=2010-04-04
Marginally faster:

Dear all,
This should be simple but I cannot figure it out despite reading all the man pages. Could someone please help me translate this code (GNU date) to one that can be read by BSD date?:
myDate=$(date -d "$h -$l days" +%Y/%m/%d),
where h is a variable of the form DD/MM/YYYY, and l is... (3 Replies)
It's easy as pie to get the date minus one day on opensolaris:
date -d "-1 day" +"%Y%m%d"run this command on our crappy Solaris 10 machines however (which I'm guessing doesn't have GNU date running on it) and you get:
date: illegal option -- d
date: illegal option -- 1

Why is the result of this command off (or less) by one hour
date --date "1979-10-26 +54 hours" +%Y%m%d%H
The result is
1979102805
It actually should be
1979102806
It does it with adding minutes as well and only occurs on Oct. 26, from what I can tell. What's going on here? (9 Replies)
