HMMMmmm,

>8-10 points will be allocated to the first person to explain why this is not the end of this thread.

Because you and Brandon are saying the patch isn't right for the ending time?

>Brandon: Perhaps it seems that the following is correct

Did you mean incorrect?

0 1 1-7 3 1985-1989 0 NZST-12
0 1 15-21 3 1990-2007 0 NZST-12
0 1 1-7 4 2008-2038 0 NZST-12

This is what is in the patch, it has 1 am. After 1:59 am NZDT it changes to 1 am NZST.

Are you saying this is wrong? And some were always wrong? (Australia seemed to change?)

>Brandon: See this in... CR JAGae13978.

(Are you saying this is Alan's fault for not pointing this out before? ;-)

Hmm, the link in CR JAGag42510 seems pretty clear. :-(

Not sure why it wasn't implemented that way.

Hi guys,

One more question. As you said there will be no patch for me :-( on 11.00.
Can I download the patch for 11.11 and extract the the file on my hp-ux 11.00 ?
I need to be sure there is no impact as I don;t have a test machine only production and only one and on11.00 ...
so if I do this is it correct ?:
1 - I will first install the patch cumulative PHCO_36096
2- Then: Download the patch and put it on /tmp
# sh /tmp/PHCO_36823
# tar -xvf /tmp/PHCO_36823.depot
# cd /tmp/PHCO_36823/UX-CORE/usr/newconfig/usr/lib/tztab

# cp tztab.gz
gzip -d tztab.gz
I will have the new file tztab...


3 - and then reboot

Do you think this will work ?

Thanks in advance

Cheers
Kate

Hi Kate

You can copy the new tztab file from 11.11.
Please do a fresh reboot for this to take effect.

>kate32: Can I download the patch for 11.11

(You might as well download the 11.31 version since it has a bigger OS version number. ;-)

>kate32: I will have the new file tztab

I assume you copied it to /usr/lib/?

>3 - and then reboot

I wouldn't reboot until I tested it with Clay's script. And then only when convenient, between now and Sep 29.

>WK: Please do a fresh reboot for this to take effect.

Only needed for long running system processes and demons.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I don;t have the new file tztab as I don;t have another hp on 11.11
If someone can give me a copy of this file.
I will just need to copy it on my hp 11.00.

Thank you very much for your help.

Cheers
Kate

>kate32: I don't have the new file tztab as I don't have another HP on 11.11

Why would you need one? You told us exactly how to extract tztab from a tztab patch.

>If someone can give me a copy of this file.

You can extract it yourself, following your directions.

>kate32: One more question.

Why are you asking questions in Alex's thread?
You have your own. Just reopen it.

Thanks.

I will do it.

Also you have not assigned any points yet, this is not mutual =>
I am not a specialist HP and don't want yet to give maybe wrong information. Not yet ready maybe in few months I will start.

sorry for that.

Cheers
Kate.
