A Few Questions

[parkour86]

Hi,

I just received my Pineapple and i'm liking it so far. I have a few questions.

Q1) How do I clear the logs under the Logs tab? I tried clearing the cache but that didn't work. Do I have to go in manually and delete them?

Q2) How do I correct the date?

I was able to run this command to get the time updated

date +%T -s "20:58:30"[/CODE]

but couldn't get the date to work with this command

[CODE]date --set="13 Dec 2012"[/CODE]

[s]Q3) I have a USB thumb drive connected to the pineapple but I also want to connect my Alfa Wifi Adapter. Should I use a powered USB hub or will a non-powered one work?[/s]

Edit:

[s]Q4) What does the autostart on the main status page do? I searched the forum but it returned way to many results.[/s]

A2) Try petertfm's script http://forums.hak5.o...4-setup-script/ , but make sure you read all the comments regarding the newtimezone (i guess thats why you want to change the date). Also what version are you using? If not 2.7.0 try to upgrade, i think there was a bugfix for time/date/timezone problems.

3) A POWERED one!

Thanks that script worked just fine. I had to modify it for what I needed but it worked. Thanks.

Parkour86, you're close with the date command. You can set both time and date by issuing the following command:

date -s "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM[:ss]"

So, in my case (i just did this), I issued date -s "2013-01-03 18:55:00". That should work for you.

This command works on 2.7.0? date -s "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM[:ss]"

Works for me.

root@Pineapple:~# date -s "2000-01-29 07:00:00"
Sat Jan 29 07:00:00 UTC 2000

Random date obviously.

I do it by ssh. But in the Advance console doesnt works, I think that was the problem. Thank you.
