configuring xclock

  • Email
  • Follow


Recently upgraded to Solaris 9, and trying to figure out how to
replace my OWclock, which I had set up to give me nice little box with
Zulu time, digital format, showing seconds.

Trying to figure out how to configure the x resources or the command
line to get xclock to show me what I need... specifically, a display
format other than the standard 'date' or 'date +%C' output.  I need
output that looks (ideally) like
'date "+ %y/%j%n%T"'

Thanks in advance for your kind assistance.

You can't.  The man page clearly states your only options are "-analog"
and "-digital".  No resources are listed for further formatting.
You'll need another clock app to get the kind of control over the
format you want.  Don't know of one off the top of my head.

If you have another machine running an older Solaris, copy
the openwindow's clock program to your machine, it should work fine.
It should also be in the Solaris 8 CDs (or older)

It's undocumented, but if you're in any locale other than C it will
honor the CFTIME environment variable, so you can do something like
	env LC_ALL="en_US" CFTIME="%y/%j %T" xclock

(%n will just insert a space, not a line break - you can't get it
to go to multiple lines in the Solaris version.)

There should be a -d or -digital on the end of that of course.

Thanks, Alan, that answer works for me.  I put together a shell script,

#!/bin/sh
env TZ=Zulu LC_ALL="en_US" CFTIME="%y/%j %T" xclock -d -update 1 &

which gives me just what I need.  Thanks again!

Configuring AAA on Pix
Hi, I'm reading through the CCSP CSPFA Book and the following explanation under "Configuration of AAA on the Cisco PIX Firewall" confuses me. "inbound - Specifies that the PIX is to authenticate inbound traffic (originates on the inside interface and is directed to the outside interface)." (Page 280) Shouldn't it rather be originates on the OUTSIDE interface and is directed to the INSIDE interface?

Configuring a backup network
Several of our servers are dual homed. The second nic in each is on a "backup" network. The purpose of this is to load ballance server to server communication, leaving the primary network relatively free for the other computers to use. I have done some research into how I could do this, and have come to the conclusion of setting up weighted route statements that prefer the backup network for server to server commuication. The only examples of this that I can find refer to load ballancing two ISPs. To give you a graphical view of what I am trying to do: ) internet )----

configuring spreadsheet link EX
Hello .. I want to export variables from workspace to excel to create database. For that i want to use spreadsheet link EX toolbox, but i am getting problem in 'Configuring Version 2007 of the Microsoft Excel Software'. I am following the given steps but 'step 8. In the Target field, enter /regserver' is confusing. When i am entering '/regserver' it shows me error like 'check the path.' help me... Thank you Nandish. > For that i want to use spreadsheet link EX toolbox > help me... Hi Nandish, until you you wrote on 'spreadsheet link EX', I didn't know anything like that existed, so I'm not the right one to advise you on configuring that. While you'll be waiting for hints from someone using that, just a small question: is it not okay for you to use xlswrite()? Otherwise, if there's a problem with your Matlab and Excel version compatibility, you may still write to a .txt file which then get to Excel...? Maybe it's a stupid idea, I don't know.

Cognitivism and Configuring: Confusion and/or Plagiarism? #2
Here's a little something (edited/expanded) to think on: "As our debate progressed and our conception of Plans became clearer, a conviction grew on us that we were developing a point of view toward large parts of psychology. We then began to wonder how we might best characterise our position so as to contrast it with others more traditional and more familiar. The question puzzled us. We did not feel that we were behaviorists, at least not in the sense J.B. Watson defined the term, yet we were much more concerned - in that debate and in these pages at least - with what people d

Evesham Cinebook
Another cinebook question while i'm here... The cinebook has some external media buttons which are accessible when the laptop is closed. Used for windows media player to play Mp3s when the laptop is closed and in travel. They are set up to be used with windows media player. I would dearly love to remove this lump of shite from my system and configure the buttons to work with winamp. I thought I would find the answer in registry - i did a search for windows media player but couldn't find any references to it that matched. I've also looked at any settings i could make in control panel, but no, and also had a look at the gumbins pre-installed software that they threw in. No luck. Has anyone had any joy in configuring the media buttons to suit their purpose? TIA, Andy

Stuck on boot (at configuring /dev and /devices)
. To change the USB Dual Framework configuration, for example to run all USB ports with the newer USBA 1.0 framework, you will need to run the usbconfig script from: http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/scripts/sunScripts/usbconfig.txt ' Rebooted and now it wont boot and is stuck at 'configuring /dev and / devices'.
