HPUX 11.11 time change

[chad_c]

Hi. We are running 12 HPUX 11.11 servers. Can anyone shed some light on how to determine whether the new time change (daylight savings) is going to automatically change on schedule?

Regards,
Chad

Just do a search on Daylight Saving Time. There have been dozens of postings related to this subject. You will need to install a patch that updates tztab.

Daylight saving is changed by governments all over world, almost every year. So if you do not keep up on patches then it is likely your server will have difficulties with DST changes. If you are concerned about this year, look for 2007 in /usr/lib/tztab. If you do not see 2007 then your tztab is not up to date and you'll have to manually change the time 4 times this year. You can also use Clay's dst.pl script mentioned above -- it will report the DST change dates.

Or add the DST patch as mentioned previously. Be sure to schedule a reboot in the next few weeks...and also check the main HP website for DST issues for compiler, DCE and Java issues.
