I've just been playing with the STRFTIME dialplan function and am having
trouble getting it to pickup my systems local timezone.
According to show function STRFTIME and voip-info.org all the arguments are
optional and according to voip-info.org if you leave them out they will
default to the current time, the current timezone and %c respectively.
My local timezone is Pacific/Auckland (GMT+12) which is setup correctly
AFAIK - date returns the correct time and timezone. I have also tried
setting TZ=Pacific/Auckland and running asterisk at that console which
didn't alter the behaviour.
If I call a test extension with this in the dialplan;
NoOp(${STRFTIME(,,)}))
NoOp(${STRFTIME(,Pacific/Auckland,)}))
then I get this output (shortened) ;
NoOp(SIP/800-081778a4, Tue Aug 15 22:11:36 2006))
NoOp(SIP/800-081778a4, Wed Aug 16 10:11:36 2006))
I have also tried reading asterisk/stdtime/localtime.c which is (I think)
where this stuff goes on but it's over my head.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why I can't get this to work or am I
expecting the wrong behaviour (using SVN trunk)?
After further playing it's not just STRFTIME. Voicemail and other things such
as SayUnixTime are showing GMT time although cdrs (using cdr-csv) and
Asterisk logs show the correct time.
From looking at the code it appears that logs and cdrs use localtime_r
directly whereas the dialplan functions use stdtime/localtime in the Asterisk
source. Although as I said, that's a bit above me in terms of C.
Anyone have any ideas?
