<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">Has anyone seen this happen before –</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">First, my Xymon server is running on Ubuntu 10.04. Xymon version 4.3.0.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">I have 2 Windows 2003 SP2 servers in which I check a files modified time.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">On one of those servers the file checked returns a green indication as the file has been modified within the last 5 minutes.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">On the other it says it has not been updated in over 21,600+ seconds (just over the 6 hour mark).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">If I look at the data returned from both tests the time in seconds in virtually the same – both are actually off by about 6 hours. The time and time zone are
set the same on both servers. The times are all consistent with the Xymon server. The files on both servers are no older then 5 minutes.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">So, why does one file test say it is off by 6 hours (UTC vs. CST)?</span></p>
