SCO DST script

I wrote the following script to respond to the 2007 daylight saving problem for SCO UNIX. This will automate the whole process in 5.0.6 and 5.0.7 for all zones. It may need some clean up but here it is anyway.

tail -2 /etc/TIMEZONE > /89
head -1 /89 > /90
cut -c4-10 < /90 > /91
read v2 < /91

uname -a | cut -f4 -d" "> 895
read v1< 895
if test $v1 = 5.0.6
then
head -n15 /etc/TIMEZONE > /RBTIMEZONE
echo "#" Modified By Raouf Bishay 03/01/2007 to correct Time Zone \
>> /RBTIMEZONE
echo TZ="$v2,M3.2.0/2,M11.1.0/2" >>/RBTIMEZONE
echo export TZ >> /RBTIMEZONE
cp /etc/TIMEZONE /etc/TIMEZONE.org
cp /RBTIMEZONE /etc/TIMEZONE
rm /89 /90 /91
reboot
fi
if test $v1 = 5.0.7
then
head -n15 /etc/TIMEZONE > /RBTIMEZONE
echo "#" Modified By Raouf Bishay 03/01/2007 to correct Time Zone \
>> /RBTIMEZONE
read v2 < /91
echo TZ="'$v2,M3.2.0/2,M11.1.0/2'" >> /RBTIMEZONE
echo export TZ >> /RBTIMEZONE
cp /etc/TIMEZONE /etc/TIMEZONE.org
cp /RBTIMEZONE /etc/TIMEZONE
rm /89 /90 /91
reboot
fi
exit
