I agree with the UTC statement (while it might not be written law ;-)). But having MST forces (almost) everyone to do two calculations: one to UTC and one to his local timezone.
From the command line.. $ date --date="10:00am MST" will tell you *in your local timezone* what time the server will be offline; and.. $ date --date="2:00pm MST"
That's great, but it really does just show that someone writing a service interruption notice, shouldn't have much trouble posting a time in UTC/GMT/Zulu to help an international audience. Probably most ppl, face conversions for Pacific or East Coast time, much more frequently so that would be a friendlier parochial option. Why make a whole load of ppl, type a command, rather than someone who's aim is to inform the reader? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
