well, mine outputs like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ date Sat Dec 16 10:23:44 CST 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ date -u Sat Dec 16 16:23:46 UTC 2006 (i am GMT-6, US Central Time). as you can see, the second run with the -u, added my 6 hours back on again. so, if you are GMT+7, i would assume that when you give the -u, you would show a time 7 hours earlier. hth, jonathan _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
