rdate

Version: 1.0 By: Robert Morse E-mail: rmorse@rmsun.linxnet.com Web page: Available Release Date: Available Now	Info Last Modified: 4/5/98 Requires BeOS version: R4 PPC, R3 PPC License: Freeware Cost: Source Available?: Yes

Program to set the Beos Time from a remote server.

Usage:  rdate -s <host>

Recommented that it be put in the
/boot/home/config/boot/UserBootscript.

example:
        # Sync the clock
        /Work/local/bin/rdate -s host
>/dev/null                                      

Replacing 'host' with a machine that handles the rdate protocol.
        and '/Work/local/bin' with were you place the executable.

Note:
        Should compile with the limited compiler.

        This has only been tested against a solaris 2.6 machine, and
on a Bebox. Also sometimes the time in the "Be" Menu does not get
update, yet the time is set, and the clock program gets updated.  This
may not be needed on most machines, but My Bebox clock does not keep
very good time when powered off.

        I have the timeout for connecting to a remote server at 10
seconds. Which was the default in the original package.
