I would like BOINC to time stamp the Event Log (stdoutdae.txt) in UTC rather than local time. I know I can change the system clock but that will cause me some problems.
----------------------------------------Anyone know of a way to make that happen?

In linux, every process is using it's own environment and the TZ (timezone) variable is part of it. Setting TZ to UTC only for the current interpreter or boinc process should solve your "problem".

Except for manipulating the environment variable for a process [think to have seen a prior discussion how to do this on these forums, Linux?], running BOINC in a VM may be the round about way.

Stephan and Rob, thanks for the response and suggestions. Given I have zero experience with VM I'll see if I can find a way to change the TZ variable in Windows.
