date command shows time 20 minutes into future

On  Fri, 27 Jan 2012 10:50:33 +0100,  David Balažic <...@gmail.com

Hi!

I'm running an up to date version of cygwin (update a week ago or so)

on Windows XP Pro SP3.

Today I noticed the date command prints the wrong time:

 - actual wall clock time: 10:47

 - date output: Fri Jan 27 11:07:38 CEST 2012

 - date -u: Fri Jan 27 10:08:01 UTC 2012

 - windows system time (as in systray) : 10:48

Any clue?

Regards,

David

PS: I just run Setup to update and the only new packages are openssl,

vim, xterm and xxd

	On Fri, 27 Jan 2012 07:35:59 -0500, Earnie Boyd <...@users.sourceforge.net Shouldn't this be CET instead of CEST? And CET is UTC + 2 hours so even the 11: hours is wrong. What variables affect the time display do you have set? E.G. TZ? -- Earnie -- https://sites.google.com/site/earnieboyd -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple


	On Fri, 27 Jan 2012 13:48:27 +0100, Corinna Vinschen <...@cygwin.com I don't know where you get the CEST from, but other than that the time problem should be at least partially solved in the snapshots. The difference from system time shouldn't become more than 40 ms.

	On Fri, 27 Jan 2012 14:54:44 +0000, Cliff Hones <...@hones.org.uk I think the CEST comes from Windows. If you don't have TZ set, I think Cygwin turns the timezone names Windows provides into abbreviated names by taking the leading letters. So Windows "Central European Standard Time" =and "Central European Daylight Time" = I've never liked this - arguably Windows is wrong to use non-standard naming for the timezones. It's even worse for us in the UK - we get GMTST and GMTDT - ugh. [UK may be a little unusual, but perfectly reasonable in using GMT and BST.] You can see the Windows names in registry entry HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones -- Cliff -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple


	On Fri, 27 Jan 2012 17:02:50 +0100, Corinna Vinschen <...@cygwin.com Uh, right. Thanks for reminding me. The problem is of course that we only have this information source, if the environment variable TZ isn't set. Worse, the Windows timezone name is potentially language dependent. Therefore a simple translation table is not sufficient. It would require some registry scanning. Setting TZ is much simpler.

	On Fri, 27 Jan 2012 21:17:56 +0100, David Balažic <...@gmail.com Hi! Just to note, the UTC printout is wrong too, so I assume this has nothing to do with timezones. European time is UTC+1 currently. TZ=CET date This prints he same time as with no TZ. (the difference being only the "CE(S)T" string) Regards, David -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

Windows, I guess... :p Regards, David On 27 January 2012 21:17, David Balažic < -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
