I have a very basic scheduleing system put up for the Mikrotik router I have setup at home. At 19:00 it enables the public interface and VPN and at 07:00 it disables them again.
My problem is thus…
The clock is setup as follows (as an example):
time: 19:00:00
date: oct/13/2004
time-zone: +02:00
When the clock hits 19:00 the following in the scheduled event should enable the interfaces…
0 name=“enable” on-event=/interface enable public,vpn start-date=oct/13/2004 start-time=19:00:00 interval=1d run-count=0
This does happen…@ 21:00 and not 19:00 as it should…
I have the NTP client syncing the time (I’ve tried various servers), and the time is correct for my time-zone, but for some reason the script insists on running 2 hours later than it should…
I’m sure it has something to do with the time-zone setting (seems obvious) but as far as I can see the scheduler should have nothing to do with the time-zone setting anyway…It should trigger on the current time shown…Not the current time minus the time-zone…
Sometimes…If in winbox I have the clock applet open, and I click ‘apply’ several times, the scheduler triggers correctly, until I exit the applet, then everything is up the pole again…
Any suggestions?
I’m using v2.8.17 and the problem was on 2.8.13 as well…
