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"
