General :: Make App Detect When System Time Has Changed?
Jun 9, 2011
I 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).

On installation of my OEL (Oracle Enterprise Linux), I've made a mistake, and set the date and time wrong. It's pointing to a date far in the future. So I change the date (and time), all looks OK. But when I boot, all is back to the same date (in 2015). I'm running this OS in VMware, I don't know if this issue relates to VM or not.

I am using the default CVS available in Fedora 9. I initiated the CVS server by
cvs -d /usr/local/cvsproj init
To check-in and check-out the following exports commands are used
export CVS_RSH=ssh
export CVSROOT=:ext:swathi@SERVER:/usr/local/cvsproj
I shall explain problem by taking an example. A project was checked in long before (for example the checkin date is 25 Feb 2010). And today (i.e. 21 June 2011) I checked out the project from the repository. After checkout, the date of the project in the repository is changed from 25 Feb 2010 to 21 June 2011. This date is set to all the subfolders in that project. But the files in the project retains the checking date i.e. 25 Feb 2010. Why the check-in dates are getting updated/changed to the system time after doing check-out.

I have Ubuntu 10.04.1 32bit installed on my flash drive so wherever I go I can have my own mini personal computer, but one problem I'm having is every computer it is run on the next time it's rebooted to the OS on the hard drive it has UTC time instead of the actual time for the timezone you're in that Windows uses. So is their a way I can make Ubuntu not automatically change the clock to what it wants?

How to make the system boot faster by removing the idle time between 5s to 10s? bootchart attached. It is Ubuntu10.04LTS by the way. One more hint, the screen black out for ~4s after "Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom... Done." I don't know what is going on during that 4s, but my best guess is there is a way we can get rid of it.
Bootchart can be found here:

I installed a sound card but when I go to System->Preferences->Sound and go to Hardware it's not showing anything at all. If I boot from the Live CD then it will show the card and it works. How can I make my Linux installation detect this card? I was thinking that I could somehow copy the necessary files from the Live CD to make this work, but maybe there's an easier way.

I'm just wondering what the limits for time are. I have a program that always takes exactly 20 ms, so I assume this is the lowest it can measure, but I want to see if there's some sort of documentation of this.

I'm running Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 and in the UK we changed from GMT to BST last Sunday (27th March)
On GMT I was waking on LAN at 23:30, all was working fine then we changed to BST. What I usually do is leave the BIOS clock on GMT and change the Wake on Alarm to 22:30. I did this, shut down Ubuntu fine, but its not waking up at all at 22:30, or any other time I set the WOA to. I had this problem a few years ago on an old ASrock mobo and cant remember how I sorted it - maybe by blanking the bios, cant remember.

For the second time in a week, I have set up an unmanaged CentOS 5.5 Storm Server at StormOnDemand, only to discover a ton of unauthorized changes to binaries (updated file checksums and sizes) on the server shortly thereafter.The time stamps do NOT change.If the time stamps did change, I would be hunting down ahat was doing some auto-updates. But the time stamps are not changing.This leads me to believe that either these servers are suffering from:1. A virus or hacker is compromising the box.2. system corruption.3. Something else? To eliminate the possibility of number 1, I toasted the first server and started over with a new server and enabled their firewall from the start to only allow access for two IPs via SSH... my IP and my biz partner's.
Then, one of the first things we installed was a system we created that maintains a snapshot of most directories on the system so that it can be used to watch the live directories for changes. At 4:07am (server time) this morning, we received notice from this system that a massive number of files had changed in these directories. Again, no file time stamps changed.So, my question is this... is there any legitimate reason in a fairly standard CentOS 5.5 install that would cause so many files to change?

I'm having an issue with dual networking on RHEL 5. My initial question is can the order the ethx (0,1) devices are brought up be changed at boot time, so I could bring up eth1 before eth0?
Some background: eth0 is DHCP'd and using DNS, basically this is my primary network. eth1 is an isolated subnet, with a manually configured IP which has no connection to eth0 or the outside world. When I bring up networking it first brings up eth0 and then eth1, what happens is eth1 becomes the 'primary' network of the host and I lose my connection to DNS/NFS/NIS and the outside world.
If I login and manually bring up eth1 first, then eth0 everyone is happy and connections work. So, I'm looking for a solution to either bring up eth1 before eth0 or somehow make eth0 my primary IP and not have it be clobbered by eth1.

When 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.

I 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:
Code:
hwclock --hctosys
I want to run a crontab to have that command run every minute. But it don't seem to run.

I installed Ubuntu 9.10 yesterday on my computer. I had Windows XP and Windows 7 (I deleted the Windows 7 partition and installed Ubuntu 9.10). However, after installing Ubuntu, I couldn't access the grub boot menu. So I googled, and I found out how to make the menu show up again. That was okay. But Windows XP didn't show up. So I googled a bit more, searched the forums, and I added the following entry to my 40_custom file code...
As far as I know, that should work. The uuid I entered there is the one that gparted told me was the uuid of the partition. However, this isn't working. I get a disk read error when I try to boot my Windows XP.
According to my gparted, my Windows XP drive is inside an extended partition? I wonder if that has any influence on why I'm getting the disk read error, or anything. It's either that, or my 40_custom entry is wrong. I've been trying to sort this out for a while now, and I'm afraid I'm not getting anywhere with it.

I tried, of course:
Code:
awk '/^./ {print}' FILE.TXT
That does not work, I just get an empty output, even if FILE.TXT contains lines which fit the desired regexp I've searched but did not found my way. I'd like to do it with awk, as I want my program to rely only on awk, nothing else such as sed, grep, etc.
