Thanks, Shaggy. Yes, I don't need a 'real clock'.

I've got something kind of similar on my iLiad. I wanted to be able to look at the filesystem usage and see how much free space I had on the internal memory and any cards. I put a simple script on that I can click on which just executes a 'du' command and dumps the output. It would be trivial to do the same thing with a 'date' command as well on the iLiad. I assume similar functionality is possible on the DR.
Could you tell how to executes a 'du' command and dumps the output? I mean how to run a linux command in DR? I even don't know where to input the command.

Then, sorry. I am not family with the Linux system. I don't know how to write the script.
