[asterisk-users] Time variables in system application

[Danny Nicholas]

My "derailed" train of thought came from OP's mention of Centos 5.3 - I have
to do a "hwclock -s" on my 5.3 box at least daily to keep a reasonable time.

The only difference between what I think you're calling the system time
(output of date) and Asterisk is that Asterisk uses a different (internal)
library to convert the epoch-based time into a broken-out date.  Both
are using exactly the same value internally, however.  Hardware clock is
generally how system time is set initially at boot, though with NTP servers
and system skew, it's possible for the two values to drift apart over time.
