Add the current time to Openbox window titles?

I want to add the current time to window titles in openbox. Is this possible and if so, how would I go about it? I have googled this to death but can't seem to find an answer. If someone could even just point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I do have a clock, using conky, but it is covered up whenever an app is maximized. Yes I do know there are workarounds, and I have used them in the past, but I was looking for a different solution.
I am not all that good at programming but I will use this opportunity to learn more. Thanks for all the info that has been given already and I appreciate any more ideas anyone may have.

I downloaded Safari 5.1 onto Mac OS 10.6.8 some time ago. Yesterday the back/forward arrows next to the url window changed to a , which adds the current url as a bookmark. I want the arrows back. What happened, and how can I fix this? Thanks. kammro

There's another way.
Right or control click the + then click Remove Item.
Just remembered that keyboard shortcut!

Thanks for helping me

e.g. use a thread that invokes new Date() (every minute), format the Date with SimpleDateFormat and print the result String on a Label that you can put on your frame ...

Java always returns 15 minutes greater than the current time.

Hi,
I am using Microsoft Windows Server 2003R2,Standard X64 edition with Service Pack 2 and jdk1.6.0-03.
Java always returns time 15 minutes greater than the current system time.
eg:
SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
System.out.println("Now time: "+simpleDateFormat.format(new Date()));
System.out.println("Now time: "+new Date());The output of the program is :
Now time: 2008-12-22 18:47:04
Now time: Mon Dec 22 18:47:04 NPT 2008
When my actual system time is 6:32 PM or (18:32)
I have checked the current time with other programming languages like python and it always returns the actual date and time.
Note: To my observation java is always utilizing a time which is 15 minutes greater than the current time even for its log.
Thanks,

I think a more practical time machine would be one that actually travels back in time rather than forward (by 15 minutes). Sounds like it needs some more work.
Anyway, I suggest changing the system time on your computer to some other value (say, 2 hours ahead), then running the program again. If its off by 2 hours and 15 minutes, its getting the time from your computer. However, if its still off by only 15 minutes (from your wristwatch's time), then its getting the time form somehere other than the computer clock.

Getting the current time and comparing it to a time in the future

Hello,
I am seeing in my research some debate on the best way to get the time. I am reading that just using the Date class and calling getTime() is not the most reliable way to do things. Overall, I am trying to get the current time down to the millisecond. I then want to add 5 seconds to that time and then store that value. FInally, when the current time is greater or equal to this stored value, I want to continue on in my program. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to calculate the time variable? Any help would be much appreciated. I am new to the JAVA world.
Thanks,
Tim

To store the current time, simply use new java.util.Date(). Yes, there might be slight inconsistencies and it might not be the most accurate time possible, but without significant additional effort (perhaps a native O/S call or the use of another time library), you will not do much better. Calendar won't help in this instance either. The easiest way to get five seconds in the future is to do the following:
Date now = new Date();
Date future = new Date(now.getTime() + 5000);To store and retrieve the value, it depends on what you are doing. You can place it in the database via JDBC (BTW, if you trust the database timestamp more than Java's you can use something like Oracle's SYSDATE instead of Java's date in your SQL query). You can place it in the filesystem. You can store it in the user's session.

LabVIEW 7.0 utilize the real-time functions in Window 2000 Real-time.

Can an application written with LabVIEW 7.0 utilize the real-time functions in Window 2000 Real-time.

The LabVIEW DATA ACQUISITION HANDBOOK (not sure of the exact title), has examples of simultaneous I/O, which is what I assume you need.
Clock- controlled analog output (to drive the stepper), and analog input (to read your inputs), sound like the ticket for you.
You could load the output buffer with a pattern that drives your stepper, and get multiple input samples for every step, all precisely timed.

How do I create a time field that's export value is 3 hours ahead of the current time?

I need to create a field on one of our forms that takes the current time from another field and adds 3 hours to it. The JavaScript to pull the current time is:
var tm = this.getField("Time");
if(tm.value == '' || tm == ' ') tm.value =
util.printd("HH:MM tt",new Date());

Does your posted script work as expected?
It does not fill-in the field for me.
Is that code to get the time from a field or set the time for a field?
Is the field you are trying to update?
A time string for a computation is very limited or error prone unless it includes the date. There are many locations in the world that still observe Day Light Savings Time or Summer/Winter time and the time either moves forward one hour or falls back one hour at a certain date and time as prescribed by national or local law. So if one want to add 3 hours 1 hour before the time sift for the spring that would be 11:00pm adding 3 hours would result in a time value of 3:00 am the next day and not 2:00 am the next day. The hour between 1:00 am and 2:00 am does not exist for the local time zone.

How can I get a digital WDT that includes all samples, not just the one for the current time step...?

See block labeled ''digital data'' in my attachment for reference. Currently, only the digital data point for the current time step can be seen (it is deleted before the next one appears). However, I would like it display all the samples in the table like in the example found at this link under ''Digital Waveform Control'':

Hey westerman111,
If you're looking to produce have your display include the solution information from previous solver steps, you will need to buffer the previous data. The way to implement this in a Control Design & Simulation Loop is using the Memory.vi found under Control Design & Simulation > Simulation > Utilities > Memory.vi. It will allow you to save previous information generated in the simulation environment for letter solution steps.
I've attached an example that should get you started in using the Memory.vi.
I would also make sure that what you're looking to accomplish is suitable for the Control & Simulation Loop. I know you mentioned you were new to LabVIEW so I wanted to make sure you were heading off in the right direction. Is there a particular reason why you are using the Control & Simulation Loop instead of a standard While or For Loop? The Control Design & Simulation loop is unique in that it calculates the solution of a dynamic system at a prescribed time step and ODE solver. It also provides the tools to interact with the model you are solving during execution. However, if you are simply looking to perform data acquisition and measurements (instead of dynamic model simulation) I would recommend using standard LabVIEW functions.
Here are some useful references for getting start with both LabVIEW and the Control Design and Simulation Module.

How can I log into two differant accounts at the same time in two windows without the second window affecting the first.

I'm trying to log into two facebook accounts at the same time in differant windows. When ever I log into the second account in the second window it changes the login in the first window. When I hit home or any other link the first window account has been logged out and logged into the second window account. I tried installing a second copy of firefox in a differant folder that the first but it seems to use all the files of the first installation. If I can get 2 toatally seperated instalations that don't rely on the same history, cookies, cache, etc I belive that will solve my problem. Please help.

Nah, that won't work. Facebook has a feature that gets your IP Address, so as soon as you sign into one on the same computer, it changes the other login for safety purposes (say, someone was on a public library PC. They forgot to log out. Someone else logs in, and it automatically logs them out). You'll need 2 computers to do that.

How do I create a text insertion of the current time? My "date

My "date & time" stamp under Insert only prints the date. I can edit it to include the time each time I use it, but this is a real bother, as I use it often and want the time included. Actually I want a separate time stamp to keep track of time spent on specific projects. If there is no separate time stamp in Pages (hard to believe), can I create one that will print the current time without including the date? Second best: edit the "date & time" to always and automatically include the time?

Right click on the date after inserting > Edit Date & Time > Choose the Time only option
There is no way I know to have it default to this unfortunately.
You can try inserting the start time and have an updating time in a Table and calculate the difference, but the problem is the update only happens on reopening the document, not on saving.
You are better off using Billings to do all this for you:

How to display the current time in a UIX page

Hi All,
another UIX question....
A requirement of a customer is to display to current data and time in every page.
It should be done in a <header>. So i'm writing a new (template based) renderer for that element. How can i display the current time and date on it?
Thanks in advance for any help...
Regards,
Robert Willems

Hi Robert -
When you say you are writing a template-based Renderer, do you mean that you are creating a custom look and feel and replacing the header Renderer? If so, I'd recommend instead simply creating your own template (not template-based Renderer), and reference your template directly from your uiXML pages where you want to insert the timestamp.
You'll probably want to write a method data provider which calls System.currentTime(), convert the result to a date, and then use Java's date formatting capabilities (see java.text.format.DateFormat) to produce a user presentable String that you can return from your data provider.
For more info (and samples) on templates and data binding, see the "Templates and Data Binding" section of the "Includes and Templating in ADF UIX" help topic:

How can I get the current time in Xcelsius?

I'm reading in an XML feed containing dates/times, and I'd like to do a calculation to see how old it is -- but I can't seem to access the current time in Xcelsius (=now() doesn't work -- it only calculates once, when the model is loaded).
I can get around that (a bit awkwardly) with a timer, but I'd also like to know what the user's current time zone is... Any ideas?

Hi,
Maybe you could use a web service to return the required information - you can feed the timezone to the web service.
Have a look at this:

How to get the day value from the current time?

Hi,
I like to write a program that prints out the current time in the formate as "Thu May 3 07:57:02 PDT 2002". Then I want to get the day, time, year and month value out and do some manipulation.
I know to format the current time, I can use
SimpleDateFormat formatter
= new SimpleDateFormat ("EEE MM.dd hh:mm:ss z yyyy");
Date currentTime_1 = new Date();
Now how do I get the day, time, year and month value? All the getday(), gettime()..,method have been deprecated. Can anyone provide the answer?
Thanks.

Try using Calendar.get(int) and take a look at the constants used to specify the field you are trying to access.

Can I recover the database to the current time using a backup control file?

Can I recover the database to the current time using a backup control file? How far can I recover this database?
I have an Oracle 10g(10.2.3) database on RHEL4.3 system.
I have lost all the current control files and all the online redo logs, archived redo logs and all other files are OK.
Now I have to recovery this database using a backup control file.
Can I recover the database without any data lost？

If
a) it was a Shutdown Abort or an Instance Crash (i.e. backgrounds died on detecting loss of redo logs),
b) redo logs are lost
c) data files are intact
You'd have to
a) Restore datafiles
b) Do an Incomplete Recovery to the last available ArchiveLog

How do I insert the date to be continuous but not have the current time inserted using the NOW Formula?

I am using the NOW formula to have the current dated inserted when ever I open my sheet, but I can not figure out how to keep the current time from also being added.

Thank you, but I tried that. This cell formating seems to only work when the cell contains only the formula. I have text included in my formula, so the formating does not allow for it. It reverts to the default and as you see it wont even let you change the date format.
