Have you tried "date"? "clock" is used for reading the _Hardware_ clock. Linux has it's own system clock, which can be queried with "date". See the manpage to "clock" and "date" and /usr/do/howto/mini/Clock.gz for further info.

Try the date command. It will tell you the hour... The commands in /sbin directories are for root only.

yeppers, and it works really great in a script too:-) My better half wanted the modem to be noisy during certain hours and quiet other hours. So after much testing to get the hang of the bash syntaks and things, I got one that worked and incorporated into my diald connect script. So now between 9am and 9pm we've got a noisy modem otherwise the modem just quietly goes about its business:-) To make this work, I expanded the original connect script that was distributed with diald so I could use a total of 5 initiation strings (I just like to make sure the modem is setup the way it should be (must be all that past sysop experience:-) BTW, the fifth initiation string just sets the registers, the time test is done on the 4th initiation string:-) As far as all the variables that can be used to format the response of "date" try man date:-) But for my purposes..... CTIME=`date +%H%M` STIME=900 ETIME=2100 if [ $CTIME -ge $STIME -a $CTIME -le $ETIME ] ; then USE = $INIT_4 else USE = $INIT_4'M0' fi Then the chat stuff for initializing the modem, with the usual ABORT, though I did add REPORT ERROR in the initiation sequence. As far as the actual dialout sequence, I added REPORT CONNECT. Then whenever I call chat, use -f /var/log/chat and it reports connect rate and what errors occurred (if any:-).
Ok ok, isn't it possible to know which hour it is unless i'm root ? That's funny, but all users would like to be able to read it !
