Has anyone seen this happen before -

First, my Xymon server is running on Ubuntu 10.04. Xymon version 4.3.0.

I have 2 Windows 2003 SP2 servers in which I check a files modified time.

On one of those servers the file checked returns a green indication as the file has been modified within the last 5 minutes. On the other it says it has not been updated in over 21,600+ seconds (just over the 6 hour mark).

If I look at the data returned from both tests the time in seconds in virtually the same - both are actually off by about 6 hours. The time and time zone are set the same on both servers. The times are all consistent with the Xymon server. The files on both servers are no older then 5 minutes.

So, why does one file test say it is off by 6 hours (UTC vs. CST)?

Thanks, John
