vinski Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 Dear Armbian community I am currently porting some project from Debian/amd64 to Armbian (Debian GNU/Linux7 Wheezy) with shell and python and its impressive ! I though noticed strange behaviour on some command execution via variable and will here focus on a simple date sync example : 1. nc command : from shell or from script : nc time.nist.gov 13 revert a typical 46 char long ASCII answer. via a variable, a=$(nc time.nist.gov 13) ; $a delivers the same time server answer followed by the list of dir & files in the current dir, space separated. explicit error : $a | hexdump -v -C 2. date command from the shell or from script : date +%T -s "12:34:56" , properly sets the system time. via a variable, a=$(date +%T -s "12:34:56") ; $a generates an invalid date "12:34:56" error explicit error : $a 2>&1 | hexdump -v -C Does anyone confirm this behaviour ? Is it documented ? patched ?
