 Sometimes you want to set the system date of Unix system to some sane value. You could do it manually or use some NTP client. The first idea is too much work ;-) and for the second one you need a time server and some client installed. But why not use the HTTP Response Header ''Date''? Well you could use again some client tool like [[http://www.clevervest.com/htp/intro.html|htp]] or just use this snippet.
-  #> date -s "`lynx -dump -head http://www.kernel.org |grep 'Date:'|awk -F': ' '{print $2}'`"
+  #> date -s "`curl -I http://www.kernel.org |grep 'Date:'|awk -F': ' '{print $2}'`"
