There's documentation at the Cygwin web site (user's guide, api guide, FAQ, email list archives), there's documentation in /usr/doc and /usr/doc/Cygwin, and there's documentation all over the web concerning GNU packages and their setup/configuration. Seems like that should be an adequate pointer to get you started. These are all great places to review for any question before posting too.

I know how to do it in linux, but not in cygwin (arrgh! :) OK! I answer myself: setting the TZ variable: $ export TZ=CST-1CDT; date Thu Apr 11 18:55:26 2002 $ date -u Thu Apr 11 16:55:29 2002 How can I set this variable as the default? In /etc/profile?... let's try... yes! it works although I don't get bash hour prompt to work: 17:01:07 ~$ date Thu Apr 11 19:01:10 2002 there's still a delay of 2 hours between the two dates. Maybe there's any other configuration for this... And now I want this command (date) to work from cmd.exe too (not only from bash.exe): I guessed that probably setting a variable TZ to the timezone in cmd.exe would work and so it does!: C:\>c:\cygwin\bin\date Thu Apr 11 17:00:15 2002 C:\>set TZ=CST-1CDT C:\>c:\cygwin\bin\date Thu Apr 11 19:00:35 2002 That's it! m4c. -- 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/
Re: strange delay in date?
The date manpage tells you that date uses the environment variable TZ. Set this variable in your /etc/profile or ~/.bashrc to the correct value. regards, Markus Marcos Lorenzo de Santiago writes: > Thanks a lot now I know what is the problem, but I don't know how to > resolve it.

I know how to do it in linux, but not in cygwin (arrgh! :) In linux you just had to link /etc/localtime to /ush/share/zoneinfo/wherever_you_are and that's it, but in cygwin there's no /usr/share/zoneinfo folder. I looked manpages but I found nothing. Another question: how can I add inetd the inetd service to my winbox list of services? and how can I get my crond running?

Re: strange delay in date?
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/
