Isn't that the difference between you local timezone and UTC? I know that --localtz is supposed to be the default but it is appearing as if --utc is set there. (And isn't your timezone +0530 not +0500 so shouldn't that have been 1:30 and 23:30? $ TZ=Asia/Kolkata date -R -d 9:00 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 09:00:00 +0530 ) Try setting --localtz explicitly. Or try subtracting your timezone +0530 from the timestart and timestop options with --timestart 03:30 --timestop 12:30. Or try setting the times in UTC. Bob
