[asterisk-users] Time variables in system application

[khalid touati]

Hi Guys,
for people who may have the same issue:
i was just not using STRFTIME the right way, after consulting docs, i'm
using it like this:
exten =>
8888,n,Set(FAXFILENOEXT=/var/spool/asterisk/fax/${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},America/New_York,%F_%T)})

instead of this:
exten =>
8888,n,Set(FAXFILENOEXT=/var/spool/asterisk/fax/${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},GMT-5,%F_%T)})
and it's displaying the right time now!!
