Opensuse 10.1 date & time settings

FernandoTurner · 10-08-2008, 11:58 PM

Hi Every1 I hope I will get all the help I need as I am new to Linux and has just started working for a big company, We use Open Suse 10.x and above on all our servers aswell as asterisk 1.4. So if anyone out there can help with the following: Asterisk spying on a channel, E1 not T1.
How to set Time settings in linux coz I understand that there is a hardware and software side to setting date & time also Domino's date and time setting as it does not show correct I want it to show day/month/year.

Kind Regards

Fernando

Using yast>system>date and time you can set to local time or UTC ,beware if also use Windows that Windows use local time.
To set the display format of the clock goto the clock icon wright click on it and choice and choice date and time format
Hope this will help

#date +"d_fmt %A/%B/%Y" then I get the following in Linux Console Friday/October/2008

In domino its still the same

Hi,

Domino does not read your wanted information from the Operating System.
Try these settings in your servers' notes.ini:

DateOrder=DMY
DateSeparator=.
ClockType=24_hour
TimeSeparator=:

This will result in a date displayed like 02.11.2008 13:30.

In your case the parameter "DateSeparator" should be set to "DateSeparator=/"

Cheers

Hi thmk
I have changed the notes.ini and it changed the format in domino, but why does domino not get the date format from the operating system coz I even tried to use the export LC_TIME=en_ZA in the boot up file but it did not help???
Can u plz explain why it can't get the format from there as I had to change the notes.ini???
Oh another thing is in the locale(OperatingSYstems) can't I edit it there and how will I go about doing that???
