For something quick, cheap, and easy, try 'watch -n1 date'. My memory of using screen on a VT320 plugged into a serial port suggests that screen would also display the current time on the hardware modeline if it could be convinced that such existed, but this is kind of a fuzzy memory, and I'm not sure if you could (or would want to) emulate the modeline in an xterm/Linux virtual console. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
