Hi Kate,

At the meeting, you mentioned that you modify rtems_bsdnet_timeoffset in EPICS base osdTime.cpp in order to get the correct local time for your time zone.  Till Straumann added these commands to our shared Cexp startup file so that our local time (pacific (left coast) time in our case) is correct:

setenv("TZ","PST8PDT",1)
tzset()

Note that for RTEMS (as for the other posix systems), EPICS_TIMEZONE is not used and TZ must be set instead.

Till found a little bug in tzset which he fixed and documented here:

It will be fixed in the next newlib release.

Hope this helps,

Stephanie
