de nada ... if you don´t know already: IRIX is among the finest OSes,
and SGI MIPS machines - up to Indigo2  - are the sturdiest ever made.
If you want to learn more about IRIX than to set the date and time,
do yourself a great favour and install SGI´s infosearch package.
You can navigate through a treasury of information with a browser,
get all the man pages neatly displayed ... it´s really _very_ helpful
for all IRIX admin tasks.
If there´s anything missing go try Ian´s Mapleson´s web site
(hi there, Ian) - or www.nekochan.net.

That's easy, "date" is the way to go for all Unixes (including Linux,
Solaris, IRIX, whatever). The syntax is very simple :
date MMDDHHMM
(month, day, hours, minutes).
There is probably some GUI tool buried somewhere in the
Toolchest->System->System Manager, but noone bother :)

You might also want to try the ntp daemon, this causes the clock to sync
with a timeserver...
Just look for the NTP package on http://freeware.sgi.com/index-by-alpha.html
The only configuration you need to do is specify a server close to your
location in /etc/init.d/fw_ntp
There is a list on http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone

I sure do not (and no one would) appreciate your sarcasm ...these
forums are meant to help each other and if you feel you can not...no
point in posting !!
I have clearly posted that I am new to IRIX and asking if command line
is the only option or if I am missing some GUI
I was thrilled to see such a quick response for the post and see this
useless one.
It's not useless, this is a Unix forum "sarcasm" is part of it and it |
was not that hard, harder will come from time to time I know I been and
am there ;)
Try xman then so you can browse all commands, you will also in the
manpage see where the command is!
Now enjoy command line input the strenght of Unix, but you must be able
to both read and write the Unix machine is a picky one :)

Use the date command. For more info, enter man date at the command
prompt.

Gosh, are you to support WS/servers and need a GUI for setting the date! |
