Per suggestions received, running file on our application reports dgcb: ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC Version 1, dynamically linked, stripped and similarly for all the programs from our vendor. However, Casperk Dik gave this information....which sounds like good news to me. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- "they could just have statically linked the timezone code only" The C library is not involved in timezone discussions *unless* you use timezones of the form EST5EDT or PST8PDT. Instead, you should use TZ=US/Eastern or TZ=US/Pacific; this forced the library code (statically linked or not) to go out and read the zoneinfo files which are fixed. You avoid any and all hardcoded knowledge in libc Casper -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- (Our $TZ is already US/Eastern :-) Thanks to Casper Dik Rich Teer Anthony D'Atri Jason Edgecombe tdiallo >>> "Seth Rothenberg" <SROTHENB@emerginghealthit.com> 02/13/07 1:03 PM >>> Greetings, We patched our servers - Solaris 2.6, Solaris 8, Solaris 9..... and we confidently ran a great Perl Script (whole thing at end) .... But it just dawned on me that I have 3rd-party commercial s/w for which I don't know if it is dynamically linked or statically linked. Can I use a tool like ldd or truss to see whether the program is using dynamicly linked libraries, or statically linked? _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Tue Feb 13 15:22:22 2007
