Need a little bit of help...

Killahbyte · 01-26-2006, 07:03 PM

This is in regards to the new date function. And when my days end. My days are ending an hour too late. Is there any way i can set my date end back 1 hour?

As for my site new date command, it seems to do it a full day late. I dont understand... I'd like it to make anew folder a few minutes before the day ends but it doesn't do it anywhere even close.

Can someone help point me in the right direction?

I have this for schedualed tasks:

Newday = 0 23 * * EXEC ..\scripts\ioA\ioA.exe NEWDATE

And my IOA config shows:

Use_Local_Time_Instead_of_UTC = 0

Any help to get this working right would be great!

Thanks in advance

Use_Local_Time_Instead_of_UTC = 1

I've changed this setting. We'll see if it actually did help tomorrow

Thanks!

No this did not fix my problem. And now my site newdate does not work properly. It keeps making dates for yesterday..

ioFTPD's scheduler is using UTC. So, if you want to trigger newdate at midnight mountain time, you'll have to change your settings a bit.

in ioFTPD.ini
Newday = 5 7 * * EXEC ..\scripts\ioA\ioA.exe NEWDATE

and in ioA.cfg
Use_Local_Time_Instead_of_UTC = 1

7:05 UTC is 00:05 GMT-7 (unless I made a mistake with dst). I've added 5 minutes to be sure it's not called a few seconds before the day starts.
Make sure your clock and timezone are correctly set to GMT-7 and the corresponding time.
