Check day light saving time

How can I check if DST patch is installed on my Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 system?

TIA

Check for these patches -

Solaris 8
with timezone patch 109809-05 or later and libc patch 108993-52 or later
Solaris 9
with timezone patch 113225-07 or later and libc patch 112874-33 or later

Provided you know what the patch number and version should be (eg: 109809-03), then try:
showrev -p | grep 109809
or
patchadd -p | grep 109809


I hope that helps.

Thanks!

How did you find out this '109809-05' is the DST patch?

I found our that you are right because, I did a google search on your patch, however I was not able to find out what patch I need.

Also, is it a good idea to use 'zdump' to verify if DST patch will work or not?

TIA

I was also told to install the JAVA Solaris Recommended patches for DST... J2SE_Solaris_8_Recommended.zip and J2SE_Solaris_9_Recommended.zip. Those cluster patches have about 12 total in each. Anyone else heard that these were needed?

As well as...
j2re-1_3_1_18-solaris-sparc.sh
j2re-1_3_1_19-solaris-sparc.sh
j2re-1_4_2_11-solaris-sparc.sh
j2re-1_4_2_11-solaris-sparcv9.sh
j2re-1_4_2_13-solaris-sparc.sh
j2re-1_4_2_13-solaris-sparcv9.sh
j2sdk-1_3_1_18-solaris-sparc.sh
j2sdk-1_3_1_19-solaris-sparc.sh
j2sdk-1_4_2_11-solaris-sparc.sh
j2sdk-1_4_2_11-solaris-sparcv9.sh
j2sdk-1_4_2_13-solaris-sparc.sh
j2sdk-1_4_2_13-solaris-sparcv9.sh
jdk-1_5_0_09-solaris-sparc.sh
jdk-1_5_0_09-solaris-sparcv9.sh
jre-1_5_0_09-solaris.sparc.sh
jre-1_5_0_09-solaris.sparv9.sh

Has anyone else installed the j2sdk,jdk,jre files? If so..where are they installed for DST patching? These look like root scripts!
