i was searching the internet for hours, but i couldn't find the information i need.
It is about the time process with the "date" command.
for example:
Process time;
time.begin("date");
time.addParameter("+%T");
My question is: Where does the time process get the information of the time from?
I heard he gets it from the network, but does every network have a time? or does he get it from a timeserver on the network?
You see i am very confused, so i would be thankful if you could help me a little
date gets the date from the system (sorry I don't have enough culture to explain it better)
system date gets updated using time servers (that use "ntp": "network time protocol")
if your yun can access internet, date will be something like june 2014 etc, if not it will be something like jan 1970..
I think i understand it better now:
process date runs a command on the linux-system and returns the "linux-date"
the "linux-date" gets automatically updated via ntp when the yun is connected to a network with access to internet.
So what happens if i have no access to the internet on my network? Do i have to set up a time-server manually?
Can i tell the yun which time-server it should use?
