This command is available with the SunView User's software installation option. Refer to [a manual with the abbreviation INSTALL] for information on how to install optional software.
clock is a SunView utility that displays the current time in a window. When open, clock shows the date and time in text format. When closed, clock displays a clock face.
Note: In previous releases clock was known as clocktool. In the current release, /usr/old/clocktool is a symbolic link to clock.
There is only room for 3 of these, but any 3 may be displayed in any sequence.
clock also accepts all of the generic tool arguments discussed in sunview.1
clock listens for keyboard input while open. It recognizes the following characters:
When the
-r
option is specified,
clock
displays the roman numeral four as
IIII
instead of
IV
to counterbalance the roman numeral eight,
VIII.
If you reset the system time, clock will not reflect the new time until you change its state from open to icon, or vice versa. To reset the system time, see date.1v
The date display does not go well with the round clock face.
