4.3 Configuration Options
The timesync.conf/TSCONF file can contain any or all of the options described below. If
the configuration file does not specify a given option, TimeSync uses the default value
defined for that option. Descriptions for each option follow.
4.3.1 Process Options
Process configuration options are contained in the Process section of the configuration
file. These options specify general run-time parameters for TimeSync.
AutoSave True | False
Controls whether the TimeSync process automatically saves configuration changes in the
configuration file. If AutoSave is True, any changes you make to the TimeSync
configuration using TimeCom are immediately written to the configuration file, and thus
will be re-applied the next time TimeSync is run. If AutoSave is False, the changes you
make using TimeCom alter the current run-time behavior of TimeSync only, and are not
preserved in the configuration file. Therefore the next time TimeSync is run the settings
will not be re-applied. Note that if AutoSave is True, it is not necessary to use the
TimeCom SAVE command since all configuration changes are saved automatically.
Value Range: True or False
Default Value: True
Example: AutoSave = False
GMTOffset <value>
The offset, in seconds, between the local system clock and GMT/UTC time. In most cases
system clocks are kept in GMT/UTC time, and time values are then converted as needed to
Local Civil Time (LCT). Note that this conversion to LCT is where any time zone offsets are
applied as well. However, in some cases users may choose to run their system clock on
something other than GMT/UTC time. If that is the case, TimeSync can be configured to
allow for this offset by setting the GMTOffset value. For example, if your system clock is
set to one hour later than GMT/UTC time, the GMTOffset value would be 3600.
Note that the GMTOffset value is not in any way related to time zone information for your
system. Time zone data is not used by TimeSync and has no impact on its behavior
