system date
Lex Harrelson
This reasonably simple on a MSDOS platform as I can access ports directly.
out 70h and inp 71h. Not as simple to me in unix........
Thank is advance

"setclock" accesses the RTC, but if you really want to do
this yourself, this older post might be of interest. Be
careful, though- it's easy to kill your system with a simple
mistype:

The only correct way of doing this is to write a device
driver.
But for testing & hacks, this can be handy:
mknod /dev/iob c 4 3
Then open the device, lseek to a file offset equal to the
IO address
you want to write to, and write a byte there. Be sure to
lseek again
if you want to write another byte to the same address.

/etc/cmos gives you everything in the CMOS.
Try 'setclk -p', though, it's a bit friendlier. :-)
