system time different from application time

[kholikt]

Hi,

I have a very strange problem here. My system time appear is accurate but somehow my coldfusion time is 12 hours different than my system time.

Is there anyway to find out where is coldfusion pick up the timezone from the hpux?

HI,

I know of one application (Unicenter TNG workload manager) that uses the kernel parameter 'timezone' which is in minutes west of Greenwich and is by default 420. You could check if that amounts to your 12 hrs difference.

Hi

I think this is some thing to do with ur application software. Nothing to do with HPUX.

Check if the scripts you use to launch the application set the TZ environment variable.

Also check your local /etc/profile and $HOME/.profile to make sure that TZ is not being set there and making it appear that time is correct. Strange as it may sound, I have found several Unix machines at some Universities do this so the base time of the system is always Greenwich time. I don't know why. Anyway, you should also check the config scripts for any other shells that you might use cshrc, tcshrc, etc....
