I wonder if what'll happen in practice, is that environments like SL will move on to 64-bit platforms before 2038, so there won't be a 32-bit wrap problem? It's not inherently a Unix Time limitation. [[User:Omei Qunhua|Omei Qunhua]] 16:14, 12 December 2013 (PST) | |||

Is there any word on what time-zone the system sits on? Is the system clock set to UTC? PST? MST? CST? EST? Is the clock consistent throughout SL or is it dependent upon which server a particular region sits on? When subtracting a timestamp set to pacific time from the llGetUnixTime() result on RPS Island I receive a result 3 hours 'short' of expectations ... seeming to indicate that, at least at RPS Island, the llGetUnixTime is not based on PST.

- *sigh* llGetUnixTime is the number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970
UTC. It doesn't matter what time zone the simulator is in, the return of llGetUnixTime would be the same regardless. As to what the other time functions return, please refer to those specific articles. -- Strife (talk|contribs) 00:21, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
TY for the answer ... seems I missed the "UTC" timezone indication on the original wiki post. The results still do not correlate (as UTC time compared against PST time would result in a 7 or 8 hour difference - dependent upon DST settings - not a 3 hour difference), but I do now have an assumed constant that I can work from. Thank you. Kenn Nilsson 01:06, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
