Hi
is it possible to alter system time in CircleMud? Currently, the time it reports in logs is vastly different to my real time (different GMT zone I guess).

I'd like to be able to check logs and relate to them, without adding or subtracting time.

Is there a configuration for time anywhere?

cheers

Basil

#include <time.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
   time_t td;

   putenv("TZ=PST8PDT");
   tzset();
   time(&td);
   printf("Current time = %s\n", asctime(localtime(&td)));
   return 0;
}

see man tzset

Thanks Tyche

I'm a noob - where does that code get inserted?

Cheers

You'd put the putenv and tzset commands at the beginning of your 'main' function in the c source. Of course, you would have to adjust the timezone to whatever is more appropriate for you.

I assume the same works for Mordor.

Which file would one use - it seems to be a large collection of files?

Using Tyche's suggestion from the other thread, you should try grepping for 'main' – that will show you where the main function is. ('main' is the entry point to the program.)
