Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Bug in Gnu date? Post 303025279 by Peasant on Tuesday 30th of October 2018 07:18:46 AM
Old 10-30-2018
I cannot reproduce on 8.4, on RHEL/Centos 6.7 or later.
Code:
$ date --date="15:00"
Tue Oct 30 15:00:00 CET 2018
$ date --date="15:00 + 1 minute"
Tue Oct 30 15:01:00 CET 2018

What does hwclock as root output, is it expected ?

Regards
Peasant.
