wouldn't update the hardware clock but the clock command would; hence the script I posted up here several days ago. Basically, I did a netdate deal to pull the time from a time server and then used the clock command to update it if the netdate command was successful. I generally use the date command in a alias with the %mm%yy%dd construct to give me a quick date/time command I can run from the keyboard. -----Original Message----- From: Jason [mailto:unleet@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2001 3:22 PM To: speakup at braille.uwo.ca Subject: Re: date AFAIK time will update automatically if you store it in the hardware clock in GMT, but not in local time.
