run 1) # date 2) # date -u Is it different ? The system may be running on a different time zone. Since date returned SAST the time zone in your environment variable may be different from the real system time. Some customers get confused all the time with this :) They run date and they get their local time, I run date from root and get the GMT time. The box is actually running on GMT. In exemple, a backup run at 18:00 EST but in the log they see 22:00. If they hit date it's saying 18:00 but it's really 22:00. Thanks, JP
