Is there a NW 5 replacement for systime.exe?

[jhulbert]

I need to sync the workstation time to the server periodically. The network is at a police station so the PC's are on 24X7. I was all set to use systime but found it gone with the recent upgrade to NW5! <br>
<br>
Checked the novell site up, down and sideways and cannot find any replacement to systime (a dos app that syncs the workstation time to the server). <br>
<br>
Does anybody know of a replacement app from Novell, or shareware? The network is IPX.

Novell is moving to TCP/IP so in NW5 they use NTP to sync time. I would suggest turning on TCP and getting one of thousands of shareware NTP clients to sync your pc with the network.

I am a little late coming to the party but perhaps I can help. Following a recent upgrade to NW5.0 (From NW2.2)a third party application started misbehaving. It seems that it changed the system date (Insert suitable expletive here!) for the duration of a specific process then used systime to reset it. Trouble was that systime was no longer in the system.<br>
<br>
My solution was to copy systime.exe from the recently retired NW2 system to Sys\Public in NW5. It seems to work.

try adding SET_TIME ON to your login script. we are running ip/ipx on our network, but this should work for ipx only.
