Do you know what time it is?

Couple of simple command line clocks.

Couple of simple clocks. Great for giving an old pc something to do for grins. Actually I was running these two programs from the nslu2 arm based unit running debian linux.

To install:

$ sudo apt-get install sysvbanner figlet

If your system does not have figlet you can get it from the web.

$ wget ftp://ftp.figlet.org/pub/figlet/program/unix/figlet-2.2.5.tar.gz
$ tar zxvf  figlet-2.2.5.tar.gz
$ cd figlet-2.2.5/
$ make
$ sudo make install

Usage:

watch -tn 1 date +%T \|figlet -c

or

watch -t -n 1 "date +%T | xargs banner"
