My hardware clock is set to UTC (USA/Eastern). Each Linux image itself maintains the correct time across a time change, it was only the rmfpms reporting process that is not effected unless restarted. Maybe I'm not explaining that right, but when I go to the Performance Toolkit and go to say the "Linux Performance Data Selection" screen, the date reported here will either be Interval "11:39:00-11:42:00, on 2006/04/27" or "Interval 10:39:00-10:42:00, on 2006/04/27" depending on whether or not that particular Linux image's rmfpms process was restarted or not. It's really not a big deal, I could just cron a restart of the process for each time change, I was just looking for another option.

This is the wrong approach with Linux (and z/OS actually). If you set your hardware clock to GMT or UTC then use the correct = timezone setting the adjustment for daylight savings time is automatic. -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Wiggins, Mark Sent: Thursday, April 27, 2006 8:07 AM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Problem with RMFPMS and the recent time change When we set the clocks ahead a couple of weeks ago, we noticed that each Linux image using rmfpms to report to the Performance Toolkit was reporting the wrong time. Restarting the process in Linux resolved the problem, but we'd rather not have to restart these processes on all of our images every time the time changes. Is there a way to get around this? =20 Mark Wiggins University of Connecticut Operating Systems Programmer 860-486-2792 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or = visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
