 |

I would like to know if it would be possible to have a time script which only gives the time in Eastern standard time.
Something like:
HVR !est
[bot] It is now 4:23 P.M. E.S.T.
I would be grateful for any help with this. |

Assuming the bot is running on UTC (+0000) time | Code: | bind pub -|- !est pub:est
proc pub:est {nick host hand chan text} {
puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :It is now [clock format [clock scan "5 hours ago"] -format "%H:%M %p"] E.S.T"
} |

thank you very much for coding this
the bot is running on GMT -6 I believe
installed and have the following result:
[21:39] <Burke> !est
[21:39] <RadioChick> It is now 15:39 PM E.S.T
My questions now would be, what do I change to get the time moved ahead 6 hours, and, how do I get it to display in regular time, not 24 hour format ? |

EST is 5 hours behind UTC/GTM, so we would need to use | Code: | bind pub -|- !est pub:est
proc pub:est {nick host hand chan text} {
puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :It is now [clock format [clock scan "1 hour"] -format "%I:%M %p"] E.S.T"
} |
and we use %I not %H if you want it in 12 hours not 24 hours.
Eggdrop goes off the shell's time, but i belive there is a patch to fix this available from the files page on the main website. But the settings are in eggdrop.conf file
