Transmission

I run Transmission 2.84 (14307) on the router, under Linux (BusyBox v1.20.2), installed by entware. Apparently it assumes GMT time zone, which shows in log records and in scheduled times. Is there a way to specify time zone?

It's already specified in /etc/TZ, set by router's interface as

CST6DST,M3.2.0/2,M10.2.0/2

and local time in router's own log is correct. But it looks like Transmission ignores it.

hwclock was not in the system, but I installed it with entware. But:

=============
admin@homelan:/tmp/home/root# hwclock --debug
hwclock from util-linux 2.25.2
hwclock: cannot open /dev/rtc: No such file or directory
No usable clock interface found.
hwclock: Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method.
=============

Maybe because it's a router, and maybe it does not have hardware clock at all - indeed, after every reboot the clock is reset, until adjusted by ntp.

You are genius - that was it.
