       wmSun displays the current day's Sun Rise and Set Times. You must enter your LAtitude and Longitude correctly for it to work.

OPTIONS

       -h     Display list of command-line options.

       -display <display>
	      Use an alternate X Display.

       -lat <Latitude>
	      Set latitude of observer.

       -lon <Longitude>
	      Set longitude of observer.

       -td <UT - LT>
	      Set  the	difference  beteeen  UT and LT. Useful when you want to show the Sunrise/Sunset at a remote lat/lon without resetting your
	      clock.

	      Set the date to show sunrise/sunset for.

EXAMPLES

       wmSun -lon 106.3 -lat 35.9
	      this would display rise/set times at Los Alamos in local time.

       wmSun -lat 19.58 -lon 155.92 -td 10
	      this would display rise/set times in Kona, Hawaii in local time (in winter -- you need to take  into  account  daylight  savings	at
	      other times of the year).

BUGS

       Who knows? (Let me know if you find any).
