Timezone setting with R3.14.10

[Dehong Zhang <dhzhang@fnal.gov>]

Hi Everybody, Happy New Year!

Recently we upgraded to 3.14.10 (on vxWorks 6.1).  We are trying to use the time
from the local vxWorks system, instead of the EPICS time/boot server.  So we do
NTPTime_Shutdown
immediately before iocInit.

On the vxWorks console, we can see that the NTP thread is indeed off:

generalTimeReport 1
Backwards time errors prevented 0 times.

Current Time Providers:
    "NTP", priority = 100
        Current Time not available
    "OS Clock", priority = 999
        Current Time is 2008-12-30 10:31:48.890000.

Event Time Providers:
        No Providers registered.
value = 0 = 0x0

Please note: the OS Clock does show the correct local time (US CST).

But on a host machine, if we start a monitor process like "camonitor ..."
we always get the time off by 6 hours.  It seems EPICS takes the CST time
as the GMT time, then convert it back to CST.

We tried both
putenv("TIMEZONE=...
putenv("EPICS_TIMEZONE= 

They did not help.

Please advice.

Thanks much and best regards,
Dehong
