I run who -b
to get the date of the last reboot. It returns 2013-10-29 14:55.
Now ran by a daemon (I am sending this date to a server) it returns Oct 29 14:55. But some other times (before last reboot in Oct 29) it would return something like 2013-10-24 13:17 consistently.
First set of questions : What in an environment controls this ? Why is it different from the sudo user and the daemon ? And why did it change in between 2 reboots ?
Another question : Is there a way to have this date with format 2013-10-29 14:55 ? I could format it but the year is missing. (i.e do you know what flag to pass who -b) ?
