Justin, > The TZ variable was unset, so I made it UTC, restarted LDM, but the result > is the same, the time stamp is in EST. > > When I called 'date(1)' it returned UTC because that is the TZ setting for > the entire system. To my knowledge nothing on the system has a setting of > EST, that is what is making this LDM log date stamp issue very confusing to > me...where and why is it being reset to EST? Very odd. Try this. Replace the file "src/ulog/Makefile.am" with the attached, new version and add the attached file "test_gmtime.c" to that same directory. Then go into the "src/ulog" directory and execute the command "make check". It should execute successfully and the current UTC time should be printed near the end of the output. > Thanks, > Justin Regards, Steve Emmerson Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: NJE-906346 Department: Support LDM Priority: Normal Status: Closed
