Clearly suggesting I don't even know the time of day reflects very badly on your intelligence.

The above is the execution of a script I wrote to get the time of day from www.time.gov

The line of interest in that script is
echo `lynx -dump time.gov\?Eastern/d/-5 -connect-timeout 10 |head -3|tail -1 `

And the command date -s `timeIP` will set the clock in a computer to within a second of the time of day.

The actual script is a multifunction script created using arg 0 to control function selection.
