General :: Unable To Change System Time As Non-Root User
May 6, 2011I need to edit the system time as a not-root user. I am carrying out the following actions in my program.
1. Read the User Id of the process. User_ID= getuid()
2. Printing Capabilities(Permitted, Efffective, Inheritable)of the process
3. Setting UID = 0, using setuid(0)
4. Calling the prctl(), function to keep capabilities
5.Switching the UID from root to User_ID of the process
6. What we have now is a process with root capabilities as a non root user
7. On printing Permitted, Effective, Inheritable capabilities, I get the following
--> Permitted = 0xfffffeff = Effective
Inheritable = 0x0; with UID = 1001;
8. I then try and set the system time with --> system("date -s 10:00");
9. I get an error: date: cannot set date: Operation not permitted
10. I am unable to understand as to why I cannot set the time even thought the capability bit CAP_SYS_TIME in the Permitted and Effective sets are SET.

General :: Get The Last Change Time Of Directory Recursively
May 28, 2011How can I get the last time any of the files in a directory or its subdirectories has changed?
e.g
Dir - changed 1/1/1
Sub Dir 1 - changed 2/1/1
Sub Dir 2 - changed 3/1/1
File 1 - changed 10/1/1
File 2 - change 5/1/1
The output for this for Dir should be 10/1/1 (File 1 was the last modified one). Getting the last file name to be modified is a bonus but isn't necessary.

Jan 11, 2010I was doing some testing which is required for some of my products
Here is the strange behaviour i observed
First i did set the timezone to PST 2010 (which is less than GMT basically negative timezone)
zdump -v /etc/localtime |grep 2010
/etc/localtime Sun Mar 14 09:59:59 2010 UTC = Sun Mar 14 01:59:59 2010 PST isdst=0 gmtoff=-28800
/etc/localtime Sun Mar 14 10:00:00 2010 UTC = Sun Mar 14 03:00:00 2010 PDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-25200
[Code]....
Note:in the above case when i did set time to 2:59:55 and said ok by then CEST became CET already. That could be the reason why DST is not happening.
I tried with few other positive and negative timezone configuration all the negative time zones resets back properly where as all the positive timezones doesn't
All my timezone files are up to date,i am using fedora 9

View 5 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Change File Time Stamp (Bash Script)?
Jan 6, 2010I need some help recovering from a "slight" screwup. We just moved 3 TB of data from one RAID Array to another. Low lever archive files. This was done with a regular cp (for some reason) and now we have lost all the timestamps on the files, and we urgently need to get the timestamps back on these files.
We are running Ubuntu 9.10 Server and we have mounted the following
1. /mnt/old-raid ##Old raid from the old server
2. /mnt/new-raid ##New raid on the server
I know we can read out the timestamp on the old server using the command stat -c '%Y' <<filname>>
I know we can change the timestamp of the file, using the command touch -d '<<date>>'
To get from the stat -c date to the input date in touch we need to use date -d @<<timestamp>> +'%d %b %Y %R'
So my question is, how can I create a loop that will list all files in a folder, get their timestamp and update the old timestamp with the new?
General :: Time To Change - Installed Newer Version Of Python 2.6

View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: How To Set System Time In 12/24 Hr
Sep 19, 2010When I use the `date' command on RHEL5, I can get the time shown in 24 hr format. I wonder if the time can be shown in 12 hr format. But I don't want to use the `date +FORMAT' to do that, neither `alias date='date +FORMAT''. I just want a simple `date' to show time in 12hr format.Is there any configuration file about the 12/24 hr format? Is the format related to the value of the environment variable 'TIMEFORMAT'? I can't find its default value by 'set | grep -i timeformat'.How can I know what the current format is? I mean, when I use `date', I can get "Sun Sep 19 13:22:50 CST 2010", which seems like 24hr format; but when I use `hwclock', I can get "Sun 19 Sep 2010 01:23:05 PM CST -0.174299 seconds", which seems like 12hr format.

Apr 11, 2011I am running my Ubuntu 32 bit server on top of Windows 7 64 bit with VirualBox. It's a 2 core Atom. It's been working good for about half a year. But the last about 6 weeks the system time only in Ubuntu is going slow. About -8 per 24 hours! I can only guess because I have more things running in my Windows 7 and Ubuntu.
I can set it right by coping the hareware time to system time with this command:

I want to run a crontab to have that command run every minute. But it don't seem to run.

View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Check If NTP Adjusted System Time?
Aug 27, 2010I have a machine that experienced some troubles with some of the real time stuff that I'm running. One lead that I have is that NTP daemon may have moved the time, causing false timeouts.
How do I find out if NTP daemon did indeed move time at all? Any logs? I do see NTP daemon restart in /var/log/messages, but I don't know if time adjustment should be there as well. to clarify: I need to understand it from the logs, after the event. May be 2 days after the time was adjusted. Running commands to see the current status doesn't help.
General :: Command Returns Too Much Of System Time
Aug 20, 2009I use the time command to measure the wall-clock time of a GPU implementation of an algorithm. When I time the CPU execution of the algorithm time returns a negligible sys time. However, when I time the GPU execution time returns a sys time that is around 20-30% of the total time. If that time was comparable with the negligible sys time of the CPU I would achieve a speedup of a few times higher.
I suspect that the increased sys time is because of the GPU usage, which, I assume, takes some time for the OS because of the drivers etc. I am not sure though, and it is important to figure this out because it will improve my results a lot if I can ignore the sys time and use just the user time for speedup calculations. Also, is there a way to see, in detail, what is the sys running and takes so much time. I am thinking that I might be able to see if it is the driver indeed that causes this delay.
General :: Uptime - Getting Date & Time Of System Startup?
Mar 28, 2011I know that uptime prints the time a machine has been up and running, but is there an easier (reliable) way to get the date of the start up than counting down from this output?I tried looking around /proc, but didn't find anything of relevance. There's also a line like this on my dmesg: [ 0.673492] rtc_cmos rtc_cmos: setting system clock to 2011-03-14 14:26:52 UTC (1300112812), but I'm wondering if this method is distribution and kernel version agnostic.
View 5 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Make App Detect When System Time Has Changed?
Jun 9, 2011I need to write a small application which needs to detect if the system time is changed by an another application/user and perform some action as soon as it is detected (maybe log the data that time has changed, along with info about which application/user changed it).
How can this be achieved?
I have good programming experiences in shell script, c and beginner level in python.
I don't need to know when it was changed, just need to know who/what changed it.
The system uses NTP to sync the time, but it is also possible for anyone/any application to change the time(for eg: using the simple "date" command as well).
