Yes, ts reports LOCAL TIME, not UCT. So, dear reader, it is up to you to figure out if Chelmsford is/is not on Daylight time and if you are/are not on daylight time, and the check if your answer equals Chelmsford's. The unintended consequence of ts's action is that the install scripts for patches don't always work, as they get the wrong timestamp. About three years ago (when I was an Apollo techo) I raised an request that ts patches don't always work, as they get the wrong timestamp. Good to see nothing has changed!

The unintended consequence of ts's action is that the install scripts for patches don't always work, as they get the wrong timestamp. About three years ago (when I was an Apollo techo) I raised an request that ts report timestamps in UCT to avoid this problem. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | ---- sorry about that Good to see nothing has changed!
