Actually, that's not fully sufficient here. The 'date' manpage doesn't address setting time and formats necessary to specify time. The much despised 'info' documents are necessary, the 'pinfo' command will help if you don't have RMS fingers. Incidentally, I can't seem to find an info page associated with the shellutils package, or a "shellutils-doc" package, as is customary. This in testing. Anyone know what gives? Actually, a better solution would be to use ntpdate and/or ntpd to set (and continually correct) time based on network timeservers. This tends to provide very high accuracy. See also hwclock, particularly the -systohc and -hctosys options. Peace. -- Karsten M. Self <kmself@ix.netcom.com> http://kmself.home.netcom.com/ What Part of "Gestalt" don't you understand?
