SCO DST script

Raouf Bishay

I wrote the following script to respond to the 2007 daylight saving problem for SCO UNIX. This will automate the whole process in 5.0.6 and 5.0.7 for all zones. It may need some clean up but here it is anyway.

tail -2 /etc/TIMEZONE > /89
head -1 /89 > /90
cut -c4-10 < /90 > /91
read v2 < /91

uname -a | cut -f4 -d" "> 895
read v1< 895
if test $v1 = 5.0.6
then
head -n15 /etc/TIMEZONE > /RBTIMEZONE
echo "#" Modified By Raouf Bishay 03/01/2007 to correct Time Zone \
>> /RBTIMEZONE
echo TZ="$v2,M3.2.0/2,M11.1.0/2" >>/RBTIMEZONE
echo export TZ >> /RBTIMEZONE
cp /etc/TIMEZONE /etc/TIMEZONE.org
cp /RBTIMEZONE /etc/TIMEZONE
rm /89 /90 /91
reboot
fi
if test $v1 = 5.0.7
then
head -n15 /etc/TIMEZONE > /RBTIMEZONE
echo "#" Modified By Raouf Bishay 03/01/2007 to correct Time Zone \
>> /RBTIMEZONE
read v2 < /91
echo TZ="'$v2,M3.2.0/2,M11.1.0/2'" >> /RBTIMEZONE
echo export TZ >> /RBTIMEZONE
cp /etc/TIMEZONE /etc/TIMEZONE.org
cp /RBTIMEZONE /etc/TIMEZONE
rm /89 /90 /91
reboot
fi
exit

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
