KICKDATE(1) AmigaOS Programmer's Manual KICKDATE(1)
NAME
kickdate - saves date to kickstart disk
SYNOPSIS
kickdate set | get | getset
DESCRIPTION
Kickdate saves and retrieves the current system date stamp
to the first sector of the kickstart disk. This is handy
for A1000 users with autobooting hard drives, since it
can save the system time across system resets and power
cycles.
kickdate set
Writes the date stamp to the disk.
kickdate get
Reads the date stamp from the disk.
kickdate getset
Reads the date stamp from the disk, and stays
resident, updating the date on the disk every
five mintues.
The intended use is as follows:
In your startup sequence, place the command
run >nil: kickdate getset
type
kickdate set
kickdate getset
Now you are all set.
Kickdate is carefull not to scribble onto non-kickstart
disks. It can be removed by sending it a CTRL-C (by
using the break command).
BUGS
Removeing it can take up to five minutes.
