TC Plus 8.2.1 minor time/date issue?

(1/1)

PDP-8:
Minor issue - noticed that when right-clicking on CorePlus 8.2.1 default desktop and trying to bring up System Tools > Set Time it doesn't do anything.

All the other drop downs in System Tools seem to bring up the utilities inside the Control Panel, but this one doesn't.

Not a huge deal, just something I noticed.  Tried it straight from the iso I burned to cd just to make sure - same result.  Is it doing something different?

Rich:
Hi PDP-8
I'm running TC4 and it does the same thing. Running the command from a terminal produces this result:

--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ getTime.sh
no response from nist1-atl.ustiming.org
tc@box:~$
--- End code ---
If you are interested into looking into this, the script is located in  /usr/bin/.

Juanito:
At some point after tc-4.x, things changed:


--- Code: ---$ cat /etc/sysconfig/ntpserver
pool.ntp.org

--- End code ---

..and getTime.sh seems to work for me, but does not give any feedback:
--- Code: ---$ sudo getTime.sh
[nothing]
$ sudo /usr/sbin/ntpd -q -d -n -p pool.ntp.org
ntpd: 'pool.ntp.org' is 94.204.252.138
ntpd: sending query to 94.204.252.138
ntpd: reply from 94.204.252.138: offset:+0.006060 delay:0.009697 status:0x24 strat:1 refid:0x00535047 rootdelay:0.000000 reach:0x01

--- End code ---

PDP-8:
Oh I get it now - it is an NTP time poll, not a link to the manual time/date config util in the control panel.  Ok cool.
