DT-6061 User's Manual - Platform (Build 16.0)

The PASSWD parameter is not echo suppressed. However, if the PASSWD parameter is not
provided in the command line, the console prompts for a password; the response is echo-
suppressed in this case.
If the password is valid, the user is placed in the logged in mode. Once the console user is logged
in, the balance of the commands are accessible. The login command is not accessible if the user
is already logged in.
6.3 LOGOUT
Syntax: logout
The logout command is only allowed if the console user is logged in. It uses no arguments. It will
set the console to the logged out mode. The console may also be logged out by typing exit or
ctrl-D.
6.4 DATE AND TIMEZONE
Syntax: date [hh:mm:ss] [mm/dd/yyyy]
timezone NAME=<timezone> START=<start time> STOP=<stop time>
timezone help
The date command sets the system date and time. Without arguments the date command
displays the current date & time settings. Since the DT-6061 does not have a battery backed-up
timing device, it may lose time across system reboots.
The timezone command configures the parameters for the user's time zone, for proper display of
the date and time. It is intended that time be kept internally according to "Universal Time"
(formerly known as Greenwich Mean Time). The time zone should be administered so that the
date command and all reports that might print dates (e.g. timestamps on files) can display local
time while the system uses Universal Time. The help option of timezone prints a description of
how to set the timezone (similar to the following).
The NAME parameter takes the form LBLhLBLh (for example NAME=PST8PDT7), where the first
LBL is the 3-letter label that designates "standard time" in that time zone, and the second LBL
designates "daylight savings", if any, in that time zone. The first and second "h" values designate
the number of hours west of UTC for standard and daylight savings time, respectively. These
numbers may be expressed in one of three forms:
n 'n' hours west of UTC (-n if east)
h:m 'h' hours and 'm' minutes west of UTC (-h:m)
n.m 'n.m' hours (i.e. decimal fraction) west of UTC
The given example, NAME=PST8PDT7, would be used for Pacific Standard Time with daylight
savings. When daylight savings is NOT to be used, just enter the same values for the first and
second "LBL" and "h", e.g. NAME=PST8PST8.
The START and STOP values give the date and time daylight savings starts and stops, according
to the notation: wDayMonTime, where:
Day the day of the week ('Sun', 'Wed', etc.)
Mon the month
w which such 'Day' of the month (e.g. '1' for the first, etc., and '5' denotes "last")
Time h:m is the time to switch to the new mode
