I also wanted my system to self re-start. The following is my corrected bsetdate. As you can see, the mod was *very* simply, easy to remove, and theres probably a hundred other ways to do it. # iAPX286 @(#)bsetdate.sh 1.1 # Check and set date # Modified to collect date directly from CMOS # Using 'setup -d' - Henry Seltzer 6-23-86 TZ=GMT0 export TZ date `/etc/setup -d` . /etc/TIMEZONE #while : #do # echo "Is the date `date` correct? (y or n) \c" # read reply # if # [ "$reply" = y ] # then # break # else # echo "Enter the correct time: (hh:mm:ss) or RETURN \c" # read reply2 # if [ "$reply2" != "" ] # then # /etc/setup time "$reply2" # fi # echo "Enter the correct date: (mm/dd/yy) or RETURN \c" # read reply1 # if [ "$reply1" != "" ] # then # /etc/setup date "$reply1" # fi # date `/etc/setup -d` # fi #done Hope this does the trick for you.
