set.time.from.wwv - shell script to set time to wwv
by tim conway (hiram@indy.net) 199804271850
Simple bourne shell script. Grabs date/time from port 13 of NIST WWV servers
and parses it into local timesetting string which it uses to set system time.

Uses 1 cmdline arg - integer delay factor - 0-59.

this assumes that cut ,date, and echo are available in cron's environment or as
builtins in bash - if not, give it a PATH.

just in case this isn't already out there in a hundred other versions,
consider it GPL.  i don't want any money for it, but it was so easy to write,
and so sloppily written, nobody should be charged for it.  installation, on 
the other hand - whatever's reasonable and customary, copying and media costs,
etc..  

Bugs:
If somebody writes one that's better, and maybe more efficient, i'd like a copy.
i couldn't make it break out of the loop on successful date setting, so it
sets your date once for each successful query. 

Whaddyawant for 20 minutes work?
