Bug in date +%s

[Udayraj Amin]

Hi there

 

I was trying date +%s option of date.

 

If I try the following command:

 date -d "Sep 18 2001" +%s

The result is 1032411660

And

if I try date +%s (Today being 2nd Jan 2002)

The result is 1009994337

If I try this command: date -d "Jan 02 2002" +%s

The result is 1010034120.

 

I am running equivalent of Red Hat Linux 7 called woolinux in Korea.

 

In man date, %s is described as " %s     seconds since 00:00:00, Jan 1, 1970 (a GNU extension)"

 

Can you look into the matter. Or is my interpretation wrong.

 

Regards

Uday
