hello,

i am using io858r ioBanana and iA and want to reset monthly up/down stats. [Reset]; MonthlyReset = 1st;.... resets not on the 1st, is will be reset at 2nd. system time is european zone, and ioftps time is -2 hours at sommertime and -1 winter time. daystats and dayreset, weekreset are working fine on 0 o clock european time with scheduler. only month reset makes a problem. what is wrong ?

thx for any help

Could you explain what you mean with "ioFTPD time is -2 hours at summer time and -1 hours in winter" ? Do you mean it's using UTC ? If yes, yes it is.
Your timezone is CET, so it's currently UTC+2, isn't it ?

Could you also paste the [Reset] section from your ioFTPD.ini and the whole scheduler line that calls the internal &reset event.

thx for reply.

yes, it is utc+2. so i need to change hours at timer in scheduler to work with my cet. daystats and weekstats are reseted correctly. all time monthlyreset failed on 1st. it will be done at 2nd.

in ioFTPD.ini:

[Reset]
WeeklyReset = Saturday
MonthlyReset = 1st

and

[Scheduler]
Reset = 01 22 * * &Reset

Perhaps this is because we're still the 31st (or 30th) when the &reset event is triggered, 2 hours before the new month.

I don't have this problem because I'm using UTC everywhere. Do you have any reason not to use it ? it's a standard for ppl all over the world after all.
If you don't want to for some odd reason, you can leave daystats at midnight localtime but trigger &reset at midnight UTC.
