[Ovmsdev] Locations and scripts

[Stephen Casner]

Mark,

If by "unix julian time" you mean a timestamp like 1559751698 (the
time as I write this), than that is not what Greg and I have observed
in the CRTD logs.  Here are the first lines in our files:

151766.574 CXX Info Type:crtd; Path:'/sd/gps.crtd'; Filter:1:100-100; Vehicle:TR2N;

383603.293 CXX Info Type:crtd; Path:'/sd/location.crtd'; Filter:1:100-100; Vehicle:TR1N;

Yet OVMS does have the current time from NTP:

OVMS# time
Time Zone:
UTC Time:   2019-06-05 16:35:45 UTC
Local Time: 2019-06-05 16:35:45 GMT
Provider:   ntp

PROVIDER             STRATUM  UPDATE TIME
*ntp                       1      57 Wed Jun  5 16:35:44 2019

Who calls candump_crtd::get() with the timeval that goes into the
sprintf() you mention?

                                                        -- Steve
