Anybody know how easy it would be to write a script to 1) auto dial ppp into my link site (work) 2) fire off nptdate 3) timeout and disconnect? Sometimes I go for a day or two of connecting to the net; and then I don't always remember to do the ntpdate command as root. You'd think that a computer would be able to keep relatively good wallclock time. But I've found that I gain/lose a few minutes a week. The easiest way would be to do what I did on my own system: dial up the NBS every couple of days. Suggestions? gary kline
