#9 Illegal Exception reading month argument

[Anonymous]

Attempting to run kSar for the first time and it fails to load a test report file. I assume this is caused because I'm in the UK not the US and date stamps here are formated: dd/mm/yy

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The 'month' argument must be in the range 1 to 12.

I should qualify that by saying that the sar text data was generated on a RHEL 5u5 production server. On a Fedora 12 workstation here it works ok. Looking at data from the RHEL servers here is more important though :)

I've discovered that this problem can be resolved by prefixing the sar command with LC_ALL=C, to generate text report data with a date format that kSar understands. It will do as a work around for now.

Re,

the v5 should ask you the date format, but i've that i'm still using LC_ALL=C in the command/ssh load..which migth lead to weird result as using fixed format would not work. i'm on it
