I will need this script so the user can login and change the date anytime during the day. I will not allow him to use any command except the date change so Im planning to incorporate a menu script on it. Pls help. Thanks

echo" pls input date"
date 12052012 -------user will type like this one for date
date -s 08:00:00------ user will type like this one for time

thanks,
lhareigh

NAME

       logins - display system and user login data

SYNOPSIS

       groups] logins]

DESCRIPTION

       displays  data  concerning  system  and user logins. The format and content of the output is controlled by command options and may include:
       system or user login, user ID number, comment field value (for example, user name, location), primary group name, primary group ID, supple-
       mentary	group  names,  supplementary  group  IDs,  home directory, login shell, user security level, user audit events, and password aging
       parameters. The default data is: login, user ID, primary group name, primary group ID, and comment field value. Output is  sorted  by  user
       ID,  with  user	logins following system logins. The default output consists of login, user ID, primary group, primary group ID and comment
       field formatted into columns.

       The following options are available to this command:

       Display two account expiration fields. The fields show how long the
	    account can be unused (in days) before it becomes inactive and the date the account will expire.

       Display logins with duplicate UIDs.

       Show multiple group membership data.

       Display with alternate format of one line of colon separated fields.

       Display logins with no passwords

       Display all system logins

       Sort output by login rather than UID.

       Display all user logins.

       Display extended information about selected users. This extended
	    information includes home directory, login shell and password aging data, each on its own line. Password information consists of pass-
	    word status (PS for valid password, LK for locked and NP for no password) and, if a password is present, date of last change, required
	    number of days between changes, and number of days allowed between changes.  In the case of non-trusted  systems,  the  date  of  last
	    change will be the latest Thursday since the change.

       Display all users belonging to
	    groups, sorted by login. A comma separated list specifies multiple groups.

       Display the requested
	    logins.  A comma separated list specifies multiple logins.

       Specify a switch used to classify NIS
	    or local users.  With the option, only users belonging to the specified repository are displayed.

       Multiple  options  may  be  used. Any login matching any of the criteria will be displayed. A login will be displayed only once, even if it
       meets multiple criteria.

EXAMPLES

       List all logins in default format.

       List all logins that have no password or have a duplicate UID in default
			   format.

       List all system logins in the alternate format.

       List all local users of the system.

       List all the NIS users of the system.
