Cambio de hora en Chile

[Benjamin Galvez]

Hi all,

Lo lamento pero no hablo Ingles.

Quiero consultar si alguien conoce o sabe de algún parche o actualización para solucionar problema de cambio de hora en Chile que ahora por Decreto Supremo del Gobierno, este año 2008 excepcionalmente se realizará el último día Sábado de Maro y no el próximo Sábado 8.
Lo que en resumen necesito, es actualizar y cambiar la zona horaria de Chile para que cambie la hora a fin de mes.
gracias.

Saludos
Benjamín

Hey Rita!

You doing translation services now??

Translate this for me:

We need to know what version of HP-UX he is running, assuming that he is even running HP-UX.

Is there an entry in /usr/lib/tztab for TZ=PST4SST?


Pete

[Benjamin Galvez]

yes...

[Benjamin Galvez]

yes...

systems::/ >>more /usr/lib/tztab

The file contains

systems::/ >>more /usr/lib/tztab
# @(#)B11.23_LR
# South America Chile Continental
PST4SST
0 23 8-14 3 1983-2007 6 PST4

0 23 8-14 3 2009-2038 6 PST4
0 1 9-15 10 1983-2038 0 SST3

but it does not work correctly

is correct the change?

old change hour zone
03/08/2008 24:00 hrs. change to -1 (23:00)

new change hour zone
03/29/2008 24:00 hrs. change to -1 (23:00)

The third line should almost accomplish what you need. It says that in the year 2008, on the 29th, 30th, or 31st day (29-31), if it is Saturday (6) of the March (3), the time will be adjusted. I would think you would want to change that line to read like this:

0 23 25-31 3 2008-2008 6 PST4

If you look in the following thread you'll see a link that shows you how to test your tztab changes:
http://forums.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1209662

Using your initial values gives:
$ TZ=PST4SST dst.pl
Sun Apr 06 01:59:59 PST 2008 --> Sun Apr 06 03:00:00 SST 2008
Sun Oct 26 01:59:59 SST 2008 --> Sun Oct 26 01:00:00 PST 2008

And on Pete's correction:
$ TZ=PST4SST dst.pl
Sat Mar 29 23:59:59 SST 2008 --> Sat Mar 29 23:00:00 PST 2008
Sat Oct 11 23:59:59 PST 2008 --> Sun Oct 12 01:00:00 SST 2008

If you would like an official HP-UX entry for your timezone you first must:
1) Meet the minimum population and sales numbers
2) Contact your local HP sales office
3) Provide an official government paper or web site that explains your timezone rules in a manner that is unambiguous. I.e. at this date AND time it is X, a minute later it switches to Y. And it a minute before it switches, it is X and a minute later it is Y.

# South America Chile Continental

0 23 29-31 3 2008-2008 6 PST4
0 23 8-14 3 2009-2038 6 PST4
0 1 9-15 10 1983-2038 0 SST3

Typically the entries in tztab(4) for southern hemisphere zones have the DST start months first then the DST end. So your last entry should be first, to be consistent.
