maemo.org - Talk - Interesting date problem..

First I am in Mountain time (GMT -6)
I set the Date/Time in the Control panel to my closest city (interestingly El Paso isn't listed but Juarez is).

If I go into Busybox and type date I get:
Wed May 28 19:29:20 GMT+6 2008

Also you notice it says GMT+6 instead of MST/MDT which according to busybox docs is the default.

Might this be why Google calendar/GPE Calendar is messing up times on sync? (using Ermining to sync)

I discovered this while setting a cron to run the following script to sync my hwclock/kernel clock:

Code:

#!/bin/sh





# synchronize system clock

LOGFILE=/home/user/scripts/time.log

DATE=$(date)



echo "$DATE: Synchornizing System Clock..." > $LOGFILE

ntpdate pool.ntp.org



# copy result to hardware clock



/mnt/initfs/usr/bin/retutime --rtc-from-system

echo "$DATE: Clock Synchronized." >> $LOGFILE
