Hi, again,
One other thing I should mention is that Remind has no way to know if
you use a valid time zone name. That's because the POSIX API for
setting a timezone is (I kid you not...):
setenv("TZ", the_zone_name, 1);
tzset();
and tzset() returns void... there's no possible error return from
tzset()... not even errno. This is not one of POSIX's shining moments.
On Linux with glibc, if you say:
REM TZ banana AT 00:00 MSG It's midnight, banana-time!
then you get UTC. I have no idea what happens on non-Linux systems.
If anyone knows of a portable and reliable way to validate a time zone
name for correctness, I'm all ears.
Regards,
Dianne.
