Bash: Both date "%b" and date "%h" (and of course) date "%B" gives full name of month?

I've tested it and the problem seems to be the norwegian localization:

$ LC_ALL=C date +%bApr$ LC_ALL=nn_NO.UTF-8 date +%bapril

therefore when you try to parse the log file you should set the LC_ALL environment variable to C, i.e.

LC_ALL=C command

export LC_ALL=C# your script code hereexport -n LC_ALL

For more informations on locales setting see the Locale page on Ubuntu wiki.
