If you go to a shell prompt, and type these commands, what do you get? date +%s date The first command gives you the time in seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00 UTC, the "epoch time", the second command in something humanly readable. On my raspbian: > date +%s 1523463375 > date Wed 11 Apr 16:16:19 UTC 2018 There's some discussion on getting the time set at boot for raspbian here: https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/8231/how-to-force-ntpd-to-update-date-time-after-boot -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
