LC_TIME isn't defined, nor is LOCALE.
Correct - if LC_ALL, LC_TIME, and LANG are all undefined, then you are in the C.UTF-8 locale (cygwin's default), which, since it is not "C", is not _the_ POSIX locale. Likewise, if LANG is en_US.UTF-8, but LC_ALL and LC_TIME are unset, then you are in the en_US.UTF-8 locale, which is not the POSIX locale. > > How do I make this work, while maintaining: > > LANG=en_US.UTF-8 Well, did you try setting LC_TIME=C? That would mean that LC_TIME is then POSIX, overriding LANG; and as long as LC_ALL is unset, then that would make the difference. Or, you could use TIME_STYLE='+%b %e %Y %b %e %H:%M' to force the POSIX interpretation regardless of locale. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
