Time zone error

susee_sundar — Tue, 28 Nov 2006 01:36:12 GMT

Hi team.,

We are facing a peculiar problem in our servers.
Here is the Details.

bash-2.05$ date
Tue Nov 28 07:01:49 GMT 2006
bash-2.05$ date -u
Tue Nov 28 12:01:51 GMT 2006

Our TimeZone is set to
bash-2.05$ echo $TZ
GMT+5

But when we access the server via winscp,and check the time of files we created recently, it is showing
28/11/2006 05:31 pm ( 5hours 30Minutes Fwd )

We are also facing few issues when we check the time from the browser.

Can anybody know the reason for the issue...

Regards

Your TZ setting is illegal. You should NOT be using GMT unless you use GMT0. See TZ under environ(5).

Any other setting requires you to use different name. For example for India:
export TZ=IST-5:30

Using "GMT+5" is the same as EST5 with no summer time.

I have colleagues in India so I had to use it many times.

Are you going to assign points?
