I am using the Terminal. I would like to know how do I put the current date and time on my machine and the date from a certain URL that has .php extension into a file.
Why is the output of the following commands different?
root@vmi2115:/var# hwclock
Sun 26 Jun 2011 01:21:38 PM CEST -0.273230 seconds
root@vmi2495:/var# date
Sun Jun 26 15:21:39 CEST 2011
root@vmi2115:/var#
And can I change the current time on Linux?

View 8 Replies View Relatedwe have a minor issue with time synchronization in proprietary equipment.the client needs to synchronize time with server, but not using NTP.it is not very important so doesn't need to be done often.the problem is that it won't synchronize. I can see the server is sending tcp packet with date&time, but the client ignores it.I suspect the problem is in format (manual specifies there are two possible options like MM: DD: YYYY and so on, but server seems to use some other)Is there an easy way to run some program in Linux Debian, to send that simple packet with correct date?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've got fedora 11 set up to use network time protocol to sync my laptop's date & time when I'm on-line. The question is simple really, I've added a local universality's time server (what is public) and it's live. but it's added to the end of the default time servers what come with fedora. How do I get fedora to just use the local time server, is it a case of removing the default time servers for fedora, but there is a box what says advanced options which are. sync system clock before starting service ???? & use Local time source (( is that the same as the local ntp server that I've got set up ))Hope some body can help me with the network time protocol part of Date/Time settings.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have some text based reports in which I would like to strip the "Current Date" from and replace with equivalent number of empty spaces, for every occurrence.For example, here is what I need to strip:
Date: 11/09/09
If I manually run the following SED command, it works great, however I cannot seem to find a way to use the actual "date" command within SED, to get the desired results.
WORKING: sed -i -e 's/Date: 11/09/09/ /' myfile
I've been messing around with various attempts to do this using the "date" command within SED, but I just can seem to get it right. I've also attempted defining variables which call separate "date" commands for day, month, year and inject them via standard variable calling, echoing variable, expanding variable with brackets, etc... Here are a few of the SED command attempts I've tried:
Quote:
sed -i -e 'sate: `date +%D`: :' myfile
sed -i -e "s/Date: `date +%d`/`date +%m`/`date +%y`/ /" myfile
sed -i -e 's/Date: `date +%d`/`date +%m`/`date +%y`/ /' myfile
sed -i -e 's/Date: $(date +%D) / /' myfile
I need to replace it with the equivalent number of spaces, as I'm going to be overlaying a PCL Logo here and need to keep the structure of the rest of the file. Cannot have the remaining portion of the line shifting left.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a machine running Karmic sat in the corner of my office. I scp stuff from my mac to it quite a lot over my local wireless network.At the moment, it holds a .sparsebundle backup of my mac created by SuperDuper! (mac backup application) that I periodically transfer over. I'd like to make this system a little more sophisticated and use Apple's Time Machine to automatically backup to my Ubuntu box if possible.
Anyone have any experience of this? I'm kinda hoping for something a bit more straight forward than this: http:[url]....
### TO DO: Determine the report file name based on the source directory name and current date### The report name and thumbnail directory must follow this pattern: source-%j-%H### for example, for pictures in /home/you/pictures, the file name will be: pictures-%j-%H### HINT: Use sed to extract the directory name from the path and combine it with date command output

My date and time is not syncing correctly. I have 2 opensuse 11.1 servers and on both when you adjust the time in yast, I go back into yast and the setting for the NTP server is not set and "manual" is checked. I tried many times and the setting keeps reverting back. I always click on Save NTP configuration.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIf one right-clicks on the date and time tab in Ubuntu 10.10 desktop, then there is no obvious way to change the time. If one right-clicks and goes to help, then the explanation for changing time is as follows under the category 'usage':
2.3. To Adjust the System Date or Time.
To adjust the system date or time that the Clock applet displays, perform the following steps:
1. Right-click on the applet, then choose Adjust Date & Time.
2. Type the root password, then click OK.
3. The Clock applet starts the system tool that sets the system date and time. Use the tool to adjust the date and time.
The actual way to do this is as follows:
Right-click on the date and time applet. select preferences, and down at the bottom of the window that opens push the 'time settings' button.
Then you will be able to adjust that date and time.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if anyone has discovered a way of either using cron or by custom scripting, to run a script at a certain date and time only once. The purpose would be to make one-off changes to dns zone files, or to virtual host configs on an apache server, or changing any type of text file at say 12:01am rather than waking up at 12:01am (when our maintenance windows start) to make changes to production servers.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI set my location, but Debian displays DATE in some messed format. I would expect such neat OS to recognize all those local settings based on my location, but that's not the case. It seems that Debian follows locale settings by set language (which is en_us in my case, as I guess in majority uses) or this format is default in any case
I would like to set date/time to DD.MM.YY. hh:mm:ss, and programs that display date data to follow this setting. Simply put, in Windows there is Control Panel and you set location, then OS uses some regional settings, like currency, separators, date/time format.

View 4 Replies View RelatedFor some reason, thunderbird uses some random order for the date elements, e.g. MM/DD/YY. I need to change it to YYYY/MM/DD but haven't found where!
