[BASH] - Set Time Via NTP/file for Dead CMOS Battery

#!/bin/bash

# This script was designed to keep time for Laptop's running *NIX systems with dead CMOS batteries
# Specfically Mac OSX but it can be adapted to other *NIX Systems, use a launch daemon to run on osx
# and create a .conf file named "time.conf" in /usr/share/fixes/time containing variable TIME=
# Check out my paste for the other pieces to this script


#Load variables from .conf file

. /usr/share/fixes/time/time.conf


#Variables

DATE=$(date +%m%d%H%M%Y)


#Check year & set time from variable in .conf file

[ $(date +%Y) = 1969 ] && date $TIME


#Update time via ntp server

ntpdate -u $(systemsetup -getnetworktimeserver|awk '{print $4}')


#Save time to variable in .conf file

sed -i -e "s/^TIME=.*/TIME=$DATE/" /usr/share/fixes/time/time.conf
