https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=206752 Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |jilles@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #1 from Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org> --- The behaviour is indeed strange, but I don't think resetting the day of the month to 1 whenever -j and -f are used together is correct. Commands like date -j -f %H:%M:%S 00:00:00 should still print midnight of the current day, not of the first of the month. Likewise, the date(1) man page (by referring to strftime(3)) seems to suggest that nonexistent days like 30 February are converted to something in March. You can specify the day of the month (%d) as 1 in your script. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
