Correct Time Setting

Hugsville · Post by **Hugsville** » Fri May 16, 2003 7:13 am

I have tried all different settings in my bots to try and get them to show my timezone but to no avail.
I am in the UK
Can anyone help please.

Can you be more specific on what are you tryng to do? About what "correct time" are you talking?

OK
When I DCC Chat into one of my bots I get this:

[07:48] «Hugsville» Hey John-Sue! My name is Hugsville and I am running eggdrop v1.6.13, on Linux 2.4.18-24.7.x.
[07:48] «Hugsville»
[07:48] «Hugsville» Local time is now 23:48
[07:48] «Hugsville» You are an owner of this bot. Only +n users can see this! For more info,

As you can see my time is 07:48 but the bots time is 23:48.
Is there a way to make the bot time the same as mine?

In the .conf file go to set timezone and put there 0, this is for UK - London.

I have tried that before but it didnt work.
This is how it is currently set in the config file:

# This setting defines the timezone is your bot in. It's used for internal
# routines as well as for logfile timestamping and scripting purposes.
# The timezone string specifies the name of the timezone and must be three
# or more alphabetic characters. For example, Central European Time(UTC+1)
# should be "CET".
set timezone "CET"

# The offset setting specifies the time value to be added to the local
# time to get Coordinated Universal Time (UTC aka GMT). The offset is
# positive if the local timezone is west of the Prime Meridian and
# negative if it is east. The value (in hours) must be between -23 and
# 23. For example, if the timezone is UTC+1, the offset is -1.
set offset "-1"

Oups.. sorry about that, it's set timezone "GMT" and set offset "0". Mixed them a bit..

I tried also hard, but now I've have it solved.
The setting for correct CE(S)T must be:

...
set timezone "CET"
set offset "-2"
set env(TZ) ...
