Create aliases for quick timezone checks
Authored by: ali baba on Aug 20, '03 04:19:12AM

hi thanks for responding.. i am not too familiar with these kind of manoeuvres.. is it ok if i fire up pico, copy your lines (i am in holland and accidentally my relatives are in LA and seoul) and save the file naming it ".login" in my home directory?

No..

Do not save the above script as .login.

The script is different way of achieving the goal given by the
originally hint.

You yank the lines above and using pico (or other editor)
save them as "itime".
You can save it on your Desktop (or any other directory).

Instructions if you save to Desktop.


1. Save as "~/Desktop/itime"
2. In terminal window "chmod +x itime".

Now to try it out in terminal window.

[prompt] ~/Desktop/itime Seoul
