ello. My system time isn't stable under suse7.1. It works ok under suse6.3 and 6.4 and redhat7.0. See output examples below: Example from redhat7.0: As you can see, the value for second is =0 and stable. Hourly images for 2001-4-2 18:50:0. Hourly images for 2001-4-2 18:51:0.

I am not interested in problems with setting daylight saving and/or using a server to correct the time. First we have a server at the observatory and second I would have to correct the time every minute. //Martin. --------------------------------------------- Martin Aaby-Ericsson M.Sc.
