I wrote a new worldtime.tcl which no longer uses a website to get the data.

I thought you may find this useful...

Hope this helps.

speechles, worldtime is not working for me...

Tcl error [pub_world_time]: can't read "tzzone": no such variable

About hm2k's script, if I'm not wrong it's a timezone script, not worldtime, isn't it?

Thanks.

[hm2k]

It's both.

The zoneinfo database, also called the tz database, is a collaborative compilation of information about the world's time zones.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoneinfo

What were you expecting?

[Torrevado]

What I meant is this:

<torrevado> .tz Madrid
<eggbot> torrevado, The time for the Europe/Madrid timezone is Mon Feb 01 13:35:29 2010

That is the timezone, not the real time, which is 12:35:29.

[hm2k]

It has nothing to do with timezones vs "real time" as they are the same thing.

Unfortunately, there appears to be an issue with the script...

[11:59:23 am] > .tz London
[11:59:24 am] <Bot> HM2K, The time for the Europe/London timezone is Mon Feb 01 12:58:03 2010

It appears the script returns the time one hour ahead.

The problem stems from [clock seconds].

If [clock seconds] is too fast, your system clock may be wrong.

Code: Select all

[root@blade ~]# ntpdate uk.pool.ntp.org
 1 Feb 12:13:03 ntpdate[20281]: step time server 82.219.4.31 offset -3642.419450 sec

That fixed it for me...

[12:17:10 pm] > .tz London
[12:17:11 pm] <Bot> HM2K, The time for the Europe/London timezone is Mon Feb 01 12:15:08 2010

[Torrevado]

hm2k, I have a question...

your solution would change server time? I'm not root, just have a shell account, so:

1 Feb 13:04:30 ntpdate[88094]: bind() fails: Permission denied

Obviously admins won't change server time to match my needs.

Thanks.

[hm2k]

You need to be root to issue that command. Speak to your system administrators.

There's no two ways about it, their system clock is incorrect and it is in their best interest to fix it.

However, I am working on updating the script to use the ntp protocol rather than the system time, but it's not working yet and is less reliable.

[hm2k]

I've now added the "time" protocol to the script.

Download it here: http://hm2k.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/co ... ldtime.tcl

Although I still recommend you fix your system time.

Update: I've now replaced the TIME protocol method with the HTTP time protocol method. This gives you way better support.

Update2: As per Torrevado's request I have now added a time offset, so you can easily offset the time to suit you.

Thank you for the script hm2k but I already have the weather script. I was looking for a timezone script like this:

Code: Select all

<Me>!tz New York
<Bot> The current time for New York, United States is (time) @ (timezone) (date)
