Adjust Time

Accessed via a single click on the system tray clock. (Left mouse button)

Pops up a dialog that lets you change the system time. Written in Python with TK ui.




If you are logged in as a user, it will ask for the user password. Password is used to keep an unhappy user or a mouse-happy child from messing up the system time. Authentication passes input off to a little helper script that uses expect to input the password and wait for response.

When run as user, after password is given and APPLY is clicked, you will have to wait several seconds for the script to respond. Just relax and count to ten or so . . . Also, when it does show that it has completed, you might have to jiggle the mouse over the taskbar clock to see the change reflected in the time.
