I'm looking for a version of xclock for which I can specify a timezone.
The general intent is that I'd like a row of clocks across the bottom
of my screen, each showing the time in a different timezone, perhaps
showing a name of the zone or a key city or whatever. I work on a
hotline and regularly talk to people in several timezones.

Thanks to all who have read this posting and answered! I got exactly what I needed from multiple sources. All of it came by e-mail. Example: #! /bin/sh TZ=PST8PDT export TZ xclock -geometry 100x100+3+0 -name PST 2> /dev/null & sleep 1 TZ=MST7MDT export TZ xclock -geometry 100x100+130+0 -name MST 2> /dev/null & sleep 1 TZ=CST6CDT export TZ xclock -geometry 100x100+257+0 -name CST 2> /dev/null & sleep 1 TZ=EST5EDT export TZ xclock -geometry 100x100+384+0 -name EST 2> /dev/null & To get labels, I can use the -title flag on xclock as long as I have MWM*XClock*ClientDecorations +title in .Xdefaults. This is necessary at my site because title is turned off in our default X environment. Anyway, thanks for the help... Dirk Bailey (baileyd@hpcc29.corp.hp.com)
