Most of the tooltypes can be set with options on the GUI. Facts will detect changes made to its icon information and ask you if you want to reload the config. DONOTWAIT Set this. Keep it set. Only affects running FACTS from the WBStartUp drawer, and Workbench'll moan if you don't. STARTPRI This tells WB the order in which to load programs in the WBStartUp drawer. Please note that saving settings will overwrite this option, so please instead ensure that RexxMast has a STARTPRI of more than 0 (or, better, execute it in s:user-startup) CXPRIORITY FACTS's priority as a commodity. Probably safe to set this to something ridiculously low. CXPOPUP Set this to "YES" if you want the GUI to appear on startup, and "NO" if you don't. I would suggest setting it to "NO" if you put FACTS in WBStartUp, and "YES" at all other times. CXPOPKEY Hotkey combination to pop up FACT's GUI. The default is "ctrl alt f", which probably interferes with FKey's default. And FTPMount's, come to that. CHECKKEY Hotkey to synchronise the system time. See several ways to pay TIMEOUT OBSOLETE Specifies the timeout in seconds for receiving data - now specified in TIMESERVER COMMAND Sets a command to execute after sccessful sync. (NB: this option has changed slightly in r4.91!) STRATUM1DB and STRATUM2DB Sets the path and filname of the local servers databases. Defaults to PROGDIR:clock1.htm and PROGDIR:clock2.htm Should be possible to set to eg. http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock1.htm to always consult the server copy of the database, if you have an http-handler installed. DEBUG Do NOT set this unless I tell you to, as strange things may happen. CUSTOM DST SETTINGS DSTSTARTMONTH Month when DST begins, from 1-12 DSTSTARTWDAY Day of week when DST begins, 0=Sunday, 1=Monday etc DSTSTARTHOUR Time when DST starts (hours only). eg. 1 = 1:00am DSTSTARTWEEK Which week in the month DST begins. 0=last, 1=first, 2=second, etc HEMISPHERE Set to "NORTH" or "SOUTH". If AutoDST isn't working properly, then you've set it wrong! DSTENDMONTH DSTENDWDAY DSTENDHOUR DSTENDWEEK Specify when DST ends. See the DSTSTART tooltypes. The following tooltypes can - and should - be set from the GUI! WRITETO Flags: BATTCLOCK, SYSTEM Specify more than one option by using the "or" (vertical bar) operator. TINT Specify the time interval between automatic checks in seconds. DSTNAME Specify the name of your summertime. Please use four characters! UTC OBSOLETE Specifies whether to use UTC, Local or Other timezone. AUTODST Specify AutoDST mode: -1 = custom. Any other number is the option in the AutoDST menu starting from 0 (off) at the top! IGNORETZ Set to stop the clock being adjusted along with the TZ env-var. DAYTIMEPORT Specifies the current TCP port to use for the 'daytime' service. Defaults to 13 TIMEPORT Specifies the current TCP port to use for the time/tcp service. Defaults to 37 SERVICE OBSOLETE Specifies the current service. 123 = sntp, 13 = daytime, 37 - time/tcp, 372 = time/udp UTCOFFSET Specifies timeserver's offset from GMT as seconds east. SNTPPORT Specifies the current UDP port for the sntp service. Defaults to 123 UDPTIMEPORT Specifies the current UDP port to use for the time/udp service. Defaults to 37 COMPATIBILITY Flags option. Multiple options are separated by vertical bar. Options: MODE2036 = 2036 mode BASE2015 = use 2015 as two-digit base BATT2078 = BattClock 2078 correction APPMENU If set, an AppMenu item will appear in the Workbench "Tools" menu. EXTRAHALF If set, an extra half-hour will be added to your whole hour TZ offset. QUIETDST If set, AutoDST will not notify you of the change (this also applies to leap seconds - see OBSESSION) STGEMUL If set, SummerTimeGuard emulation will be enabled. CHECKONSTARTUP If set, FACTS will check for the current time on startup. DEFPORT OBSOLETE Specifies that the default port should be used, instead of the #?PORT values above. ALWAYSUPDATE Specifies that the "Amiga" time on the GUI should continually update. ANINC OBSOLETE Enables Aninc auto server change system. See ONERROR. ONERROR Specifies what should be done if an error occurs. ANINC and/or NEXTSERVICE. OBSESSION Will enable auto-adjustment of leap seconds at midnight. WINX and WINY Specifies the position of the GUI in pixels from the left (X) and top (Y). ZOOMED Specifies that the window should be minimised to the titlebar when opened. DEFSERVER Specifies which server Facts should use as the default (see also TIMESERVER env-var) TIMEENV Specifies that Facts should write ENV:Facts/time once a minute.
