- ClockWatcher v1.0 (27-apr-95)
-
- Freeware
-
- By Henrik Münther
-
- Purpose
- -------
- Have you ever noticed, that some programs(mostly demos and games) resets your
- battery backed up clock when they crash? Anoying when you want to look at the
- file dates?
-
- Well, this is where ClockWatcher moves in. It can, of course, not restore the
- correct time, but when it discover that the clock has been crashed, it ask
- you to input the correct time.
-
-
- Requirements:
- ------------
- Should work on any Amiga with Kickstart 2.0 and above.
-
-
- How it works:
- ------------
- ClockWatcher will each time you reboot compare its own datestamp to the current
- date. If the current date is older(or too much newer) than its datestamp it
- asks you to input a new date.
- Then it saves the current date as its datestamp, which means that ClockWatcher's
- datestamp will allways have the date of the last time you have rebooted.
-
- How to use:
- ----------
- ClockWatcher should be executed in S:user-startup.
-
- Template: ClockWatcher <N> [GUI]
-
- Where N is the maximum number of days ahead, that ClockWatcher will not ask you
- to input a new date. This should be set to the normal maximum number of days you
- do not use your computer.
-
- The GUI option gives you a Graphical User Interface(the standard preferences time
- editor, so you need Sys:prefs/time) instead of the normal commandline interface.
-
- NOTE! If you select the GUI option, and the clock has been crashed, ClockWatcher
- automatically sets the time/date to the one at last reboot, before starting the
- GUI. This makes the correction of the time/date(usually only the time then) much
- easier.
-
- Example:
- -------
- ClockWatcher 5
- Means that ClockWatcher will ask you to input a new date if:
- A) The current date is older than previous time you rebooted.
- B) The current date is more than 5 days newer than previous time you rebooted.
