We have a test environment using an oracle database on redhat. During testing we need to wind the clock forward and backwards to ensure that certain actions are carried out correctly on the dates. It is also connected to several citrix servers which also have to have the same time and dates else the applications fail to run. Currently we are having to do each machine by hand but wish to find a way to automate this action as it is very repetitive.
AAH!! That makes more sense. First thing that pops into my head is write a script that runs the date command from one of the Red Hat machines. Then use ssh to run the command on the rest of the Red Hat boxes. On the windoze boxes use a login script that syncs the time using the net time command. Even better install cygwin on the windoze boxes and use the same script that you use to set the clocks on the Red Hat boxes to set the clock on the windoze boxes. If you do it right you should be able to run the script on one of the boxes and have all of the clocks get set to the time you desire. All of this is of course totally untested and just random thoughts coming out of my brain. HTH Regards, -- Tom Diehl tdiehl@xxxxxxxxxxxx Spamtrap address mtd123@xxxxxxxxxxxx
