Upon re-reading my reply I noticed that it was too terse. date shows UTC in your case because you did not set up your timezone correctly. If you do, date will show your local time, date -u will show UTC.
In my case, I set TZ to CST6CDT, which means time zone is CST, I'm 6 h west of UTC, and my daylight savings time zone is CDT regards, Markus Marcos Lorenzo de Santiago writes: > Well, now the question is: how can I get *MY* localtime?? -- Markus Hoenicka, PhD UT Houston Medical School Dept. of Integrative Biology and Pharmacology 6431 Fannin MSB4.114 Houston, TX 77030 (713) 500-6313, -7477 (713) 500-7444 (fax) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/hoenicka_markus/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
