Wouldn't that be fun trying to look through > logs with time changes? :-) Actually this brings up a good point, hence my replying to an old thread. Logs should be *made* in GMT/UTC, so they always have an absolutely fixed time (e.g. no trying to work out which 1:30 am that a logged item refers to on daylight saving's day). But the log results should be *displayable* in local time, so that you can follow them easily. Though the catch is, you need to be able to display them in the local time that they were created in. e.g. You know that at 8 pm last week when you were in London you did this thing, and you did something at 5 pm when in Melbourne last month. And you want to read your logs showing that kind of thing (8 and 5 pm), instead of having to do maths for the different timezone changes. It's doable, but only if the logs are written with *full* time and date data. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1062.4.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Oct 18 17:15:30 UTC 2019 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
