| Does anyone have a solid way to get the CMOS date in the unix environment.
| This reasonably simple on a MSDOS platform as I can access ports directly.
| out 70h and inp 71h. Not as simple to me in unix........

/etc/cmos gives you everything in the CMOS.

Try 'setclk -p', though, it's a bit friendlier. :-)
