Hi Guys,<br>for people who may have the same issue:<br>i was just not using STRFTIME the right way, after consulting docs, i'm using it like this:<br>exten => 8888,n,Set(FAXFILENOEXT=/var/spool/asterisk/fax/${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},America/New_York,%F_%T)})<br>
<br>instead of this:<br>exten => 8888,n,Set(FAXFILENOEXT=/var/spool/asterisk/fax/${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},GMT-5,%F_%T)}) and it's displaying the right time now!!<br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/4/13 Danny Nicholas <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:danny@debsinc.com">danny@debsinc.com</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">My "derailed" train of thought came from OP's mention of Centos 5.3 - I have<br>
to do a "hwclock -s" on my 5.3 box at least daily to keep a reasonable time.<br>

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