So I'm at a customer site working on an SGI Altix 3000 box and looking to set
up CSA (not Cisco Security Agent but rather Comprehensive System Accounting).
I look at the /etc/csa.holidays file and what do I see:
*
* Day of Calendar Company
* Year Date Holiday
*
1 Jan 1 New Year's Day
19 Jan 19 Martin Luther King Day
47 Feb 16 President's Day
152 May 31 Memorial Day
187 Jul 5 Day before Independence Day
188 Jul 6 Independence Day
250 Sep 6 Labor Day
330 Nov 25 Thanksgiving Day
331 Nov 26 Post-Thanksgiving Day
362 Dec 27 Christmas Day
Now, I'm not 100% sure of the "Day of Year" number but the "Calendar Date"
struck me. I guess we've all been celebrating Independence Day on the wrong
date! Leave it to SGI to show us the truth.
Also notice that Christmas falls on December 27th and not on the 25th. And
notice that it's day of the year is 362...now, if December 31st is Day 365 (for
non-leap years) then wouldn't December 25th be Day 359? Those guys at SGI...
they crack me up. :-)
