Dimitry - Thanks. From what Carlos wrote, I thought that I had to use #date --set=12101000 rather than #date 12101000 That is, I thought "date" was to obtain the current date & time and "date --set" was to set the new date and time. Kelly

According to the man page, both are possible, but with diferent format: NAME date - print or set the system date and time SYNOPSIS date [OPTION]... [+FORMAT] date [-u|--utc|--universal] [MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY][.ss]] ... -s, --set=STRING set time described by STRING -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Carlos - My apologies. There was a typo in my original response, so I corrected and re-sent with an amended "subject" as a "new" message rather than as a "reply." That's what broke the thread. Kelly
