With respect to your time problem, if you are running timed daemon the
chkconfig should let you know if you are.  Set up an netgroup for your
machines which will be allowed to change the time and make sure you
have the correct timezone set and everything should work correctly.

See the man page for date to set the entire network time.

unable to use make on SGI

Hi,
   I have tried to use make on an SGI machine.
But the syntax seems like is totally different from
other machines.  The normal dependency "making"
mechanism works fine.  But I can't do any
looping with the make.  For examples,

for i in $(SUBDIR)"";
do
echo "$$i";
make
done

The make always coomplains
for: command not found

Can anyone give a hand on this?  Please.

Ivan

  You probably need to add a definition for the macro SHELL.
Added the line SHELL=/bin/sh to your makefile.  SysV make requires
that macro.  Otherwise shell commands in your makefile will be
executed by your login shell.  I bet you are using csh, which will
not know what to do with "for"

perhaps you forgot SHELL=/bin/sh ?
