[Freeswitch-dev] Epoch current time difference

[lakshmanan ganapathy]

As for as I know, FreeSWITCH maintains its own clock. When you start
freeswitch for the first time, it takes the system time and from there on,
it uses its own clock to update the time. So After starting freeswitch, if
you change the system time, then freeswitch time and system time will be
different.

You can sync the system time by using "fsctl sync_clock". Check whether the
9 seconds it due to this behaviour....
