How can I find when the system has changed the time for the "Daylight Time Saving"? Is there any logfile?
System : HP-UX 11
Thanks

Re: Daylight saving time
EST5EDT
0 3 6 1 1974 0-6 EDT4
0 3 22-28 2 1975 0 EDT4
0 3 24-30 4 1976-1986 0 EDT4
0 3 1-7 4 1987-2038 0 EDT4
0 1 24-30 11 1974 0 EST5
0 1 25-31 10 1975-2038 0 EST5
says, in the fifth line, that starting in 1987 and continuing through 2038, the time change will occur at 0300 hours on the first sunday in April. Quoting the man page "The first six (fields) are integer patterns that
specify the minute (0-59), hour (0-23), day of the month (1-31), month
of the year (1-12), year (1970-2038), and day of the week (0-6, with
0=Sunday)."
Now, if you'll interpret the TZTAB entry that corresponds to your timezone following these guidelines, you'll be able to tell exactly when the change occured.

SolutionThere is no actual change in time. The server's clock is *not* reset. Rather, at any time (no pun intended), the value of TZ determines what *you* see as the current time, including the timezone.
As already noted, you can see the point at which the expressed timezone shifted from standard to daylight time by locating the value of TZ in '/usr/lib/tztab'.

Re: Daylight saving time
AS James has said a time change does not occur, but what happens is the system is told that it is X hours plus or minus of the system clock.

Re: Daylight saving time
Thanks for your answere. Here is what has happened:
On a server running hp-ux 11, the time has been changed on Saturday April 5. But based on the tztab file it should have been changed on Sunday;
EST5EDT
0 3 1-7 4 1987-2038 0 EDT
( TZ=EST5EDT )
How could it be possible? How can I verify/trace this?
Thanks

Re: Daylight saving time
That is the strange part, it has happened at 2am Saturday (because it did cause some problem for other applications). I've asked around and no body has done this.
Thanks

Re: Daylight saving time
You might want to look carefully at the chronology of entries in 'var/adm/syslog/syslog.log' to see if there is any evidence of time resets, although there will be nothing noted for normal standard/daylight transitions (because, really no delta in real time occurs).
Regards!
