Reply To: CLI World Clock mini script

[PPCMember]

Thanks, everyone!

I have a slightly updated version, that also shows local time (I noticed I was always looking at my toolbar to see what time it was here). Also I shortned the instructions, to make them more practical, and removed the empty final line that crept into the config file:

#!/bin/bash
# Command-line world clock by PPC 9/1/2022, GPL license
#Adapted from http://gist.github.com/rangersmyth74/4c7e291b64d48c1beb7029e9b07b6bca
#and from examples over at stackoverflow like over at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/370075/command-line-world-clock

# create preference file $HOME/.world-clock.zones, if it's missing
if [ ! -f $HOME/.world-clock.zones ]; then
echo "Europe/London
Europe/Paris
Asia/Tokyo
America/St_Johns
Brazil/West" > $HOME/.world-clock.zones
fi

: ${WORLDCLOCK_ZONES:=$HOME/.world-clock.zones}
: ${WORLDCLOCK_FORMAT:='+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z'}

function world-clock ()
{
echo
echo "		CLI World Clock:"
echo
local_time=$(date "$WORLDCLOCK_FORMAT")
echo "Local Time	       $local_time"
echo

while read zone
do echo $zone '!' $(TZ=$zone date "$WORLDCLOCK_FORMAT")
done < $WORLDCLOCK_ZONES |
awk -F '!' '{ printf "%-20s  %s\n", $1, $2;}' |
sort -b -r -k2,2 -k3,3
echo
echo "To manage the time zones, edit the file $HOME/.world-clock.zones"
echo "All time zones are listed at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones"
echo
echo "Press Ctrl + C to exit"
}

export -f world-clock
clear

while true;
do
	world-clock;
	sleep 1;
	clear
done

@sleekmason – nice plug for your build! Myself, I find antiX full, with my FT10 transformation pack perfect in every single device I tested (from an 32bits/1Gig of RAM laptop to my quad-core, 4Gig desktop)
