Re: [ts-7000] how to set server's time from web client?

[Ken Lu <>]

It seems my TS-7400(system shows 7200) does not have it.

Basically I understand the reason, is by default, the Apache configed a user nobody as web client(when access from web page)  does not  have a root privilege to set time.  Unless we can chang that.

Thanks, what commend for TS client?

I found a clue, with "whoami" command, return "nobody".  That is the reason.

No luck.  I tested any command works, like touch, rm, cat, ps...  but not date setting, even add -s.  I can also use script to run other script file, works too.  Since I can run those command, I think is not root privilege problem.  I also tested using sh or ash to run, same result.  Don't under stand the "date" command has something special.

Yes I have.  But we need accurate to second.   Now my cgi file includes this:

echo "$(date 090909092011%n)"

After running, I can see this:

Fri Sep 9 09:09:00 UTC 2011

from browser.  Same action as we type "date 090909092011" at Linux $ prompt.   But the Linux time did not change.  I don't know why.  Just suspect the time changed needs root?

See the threads about changing time.

The RTC modules are optional on some boards. Do you have the module?
