How can this be???
"today" is the same as "yesterday" or "tomorrow"!!
[ivanj@radius ivanj]$ date
Wed Jan 19 10:14:12 PYST 2000
[ivanj@radius ivanj]$ date --date yesterday
Wed Jan 19 10:15:19 PYST 2000
[ivanj@radius ivanj]$ date --date tomorrow
Wed Jan 19 10:15:27 PYST 2000
[ivanj@radius ivanj]$ date --date "1 day ago"
Tue Jan 18 10:14:39 PYST 2000
[ivanj@radius ivanj]$ date --date "1 day"
Thu Jan 20 10:14:50 PYST 2000
[ivanj@radius ivanj]$
On a different box it does what is expected:
[ivanj@arasa ivanj]$ date
Wed Jan 19 10:24:43 PYST 2000
[ivanj@arasa ivanj]$ date --date yesterday
Tue Jan 18 10:24:50 PYST 2000
[ivanj@arasa ivanj]$ date --date tomorrow
Thu Jan 20 10:24:56 PYST 2000
[ivanj@arasa ivanj]$ date --date "1 day ago"
Tue Jan 18 10:25:04 PYST 2000
[ivanj@arasa ivanj]$ date --date "1 day"
Thu Jan 20 10:25:13 PYST 2000
[ivanj@arasa ivanj]$
I temporarily solved my problem by using "1 day ago" instead of
yesterday. But why could it have stopped working. It used to use
yesterday's date when it was supposed to.
