Re: [foxboro] I/A Master Timekeeper

Hi,
I've pasted the 'README' that comes with set_mtk.
Talk to Jeremy Milum about this program.
I think it's also available on the TheCasandraProject.
Cheers,
Frits.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The utility 'set_mtk' sets the Master Timekeeper on the I/A
system.  It is a command line utility similiar to the 'Set Time'
function in the SMDH.  I make no guarentees about this program,
so caveat emptor.  I have used it on versions 6.1.1, 6.2, and
6.2.1 of the Foxboro I/A systems. 

The program takes up to 6 command line arguements that
specifiy the date and time:

./set_mtk YEAR MONTH DAY HOUR MINUTE SECOND

Only the first three are required, but unless you want the
new time to be 12:00:00 AM, you need to have the last three
also.  Valid ranges for each arguement are as follows:

year: 1970 - 2100
month: 1 - 12
day: 1 - 31
hour: 0 - 23
minute: 0 - 59
second: 0 - 59

After running the command, about 10 lines of diagnostic messages
will be displayed.  I didn't write this program. but got the source
code from TAC, and Foxboro IS NOT supporting this utility. I had to 
make a few modifications to get it to run.  So if you have any 
questions contact me, not Foxboro.

Subject: [foxboro] I/A Master Timekeeper



I think this question may have been posted before, but I seem to remember
not liking the answer, so I'll ask again.  It occasionally works for my
kids.

Is there any way to set the I/A time and date (master timekeeper) from a
script file, or must this be done only from the System Management display?
The reason I am asking is that I would like to synchronize our I/A node with
our plant process computer time using NTP, but it won't do a lot of good to
set the time on just the AW51B host box.  This isn't terribly critical, just
a nice to have.  If no one on this list knows how to do this, I'll give up.

Thanks,
