  • False "New Day" detection

    From Rob Swindell@1:103/705 to GitLab issue in main/sbbs on Sat Nov 9 13:03:16 2024
    open https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/issues/816

    This doesn't happen all the time, but occasionally, apparently, the "event thread" will think the day (and possibly month) has rolled-over and re-execute daily (and now monthly) events, unnecessarily:

    This appears to coincide with occurrences of issue #791, so that issue is still unresolved/mitigated (yes, Vertrauen's stats were reset to 0).

    Ok, So now i KNOW I'm not crazy. Remember a few weeks ago when I said that my time had jumped 4 hours forward, and then it ran my dos door maint events then went back to regular time.. people told me i was seeing crap :)


    I feel a little better about that one now..
