FW: Real-Time clock

[George Eliozov]

:) It was rhetorical question ;) 
I know what is doing this script.. :) if you follow previous messages, you
will find that I have problem with time, after restarting time was the same
as before shutting down. And the problem was in that script.. Now time is
working normally.. Thanks!

Anyway thanks for explaining!!!

This script will be called while system startup/shutdown. The appropriate
link should be located in the folder rc.d ...

As option it takes one of the following:   start     stop    restart

start does: 
>     if [ ! -e $DATEFILE ]; then
check if DATEFILE NOT exist

>         LASTDATETIME=100208002007

LASTDATETIME, here 100208002007   means according to "%m%d%H%M%G"
  Feb 10, 2007    08:00a.m.

=> reset date and time to default



>     else
>         . $DATEFILE

used stored value from DATEFILE  (this file was written on last shutdown of
neo)
(exports the variable LASTDATETIME to shell, like     `export
LASTDATETIME=mmddHHMMYYYY`


>     fi
>     date -u $LASTDATETIME
>        ;;

set time and date according to LASTDATETIME (either lastvalue or
defaultvalue)


stop:
>         echo "LASTDATETIME=`/bin/date -u +%m%d%H%M%G`" > $DATEFILE
get actual time and store it in DATEFILE


restart:
do start
do stop
