Don't you realize that you express in a way that nobody else but you understands? Really, put your mind blank, imagine you are someone that knows nothing about what you're talkng about, and read your own phrase. Then decide, honestly, wether it's understandable or not.

exactly, i'd like to help, but i don't understand...

bye, MarK.

Ty for the replies. Ok putting my mind blank....normal condition :)
Please look at your Morphos system time. You see it at the top right of your Ambient screen?
Ok? Now Post to Morphzone. OK? Refresh and notice the time of your post you just made. Ok?
Does the time agree with the time on the Ambient window?
On my system it is off about 15 minutes.
Ie: Time on my Ambient screen 09:55 posted time 09:40 fifteen minutes slower?
Hope it makes sense now?

Another problem with time is that it is set and saved correctly with prefs. When system rebooted at another time ..System time is incorrect again by a factor of 7 hours..

My system time 09:57 my post time 09:43

Open a shell and type:

Copy sys:MorphOS/s/network-startup to s:
Ed sys:s/network-startup

A new window opens with a text file. Move the cursor to the end and add the following line:

run DETACH MOSSYS:c/Setclockntp save

Now push the save item in menu or the button and close the window. After this the system time will be set on each reboot.

See geit's post for the fix, but could you confirm if you've booted OSX before the system time changes?

System is now correct to the second!!! Ty
Alas Morphzone off by 13 minutes.
Will reboot into MacX and then reboot into MorphOS

@geit
Ty again for the fix!
"run DETACH MOSSYS:c/Setclockntp save" What does that command do?
1: DETACH MOSSYS ?
2: C/Setclockntp save ?
Where in the archives are the answers?

The line sets your system time by using internet time servers thats all.

You can open a shell and type

SetClockNTP

this will set the time instantly, but only until the next reboot.

No, the blank is the separator.

@osco

There are many people on this forum who are not native English speakers who would gladly help you if they could understand WTF you are saying. For example, "Ty" ? OK, I finally sussed out that it's short for Thankyou but I can't imagine many places where this "abbreviation" is in common use. Could you put just a tiny bit of effort into your posts to make them readable ?

Code:

run = shell command to start another task
DETACH = argument to run to detach the task from the parent process
MOSSYS: = an assign to the location of the core MorphOS system, usually InstallDrive:MorphOS
c/Setclockntp save = the command to save the network time

MOSSYS:c/Setclockntp is the full path to the command. Setclockntp was new in MorphOS 2.4 IIRC and there is no official documentation for it.

run is pretty much the same as the original AmigaDOS run command.

Understood Thank-you for your explanation of the Code. What is WTF? only kidding

> Setclockntp was new in MorphOS 2.4 IIRC

It was new with 2.3 :-)
