Only 10 lines of code using libgpsd.
I forgot to mention libgpsd but fortunately you located it and did not have to write the code to connect gpsd (although that is pretty simple in many script languages). There also is some testing code included with gpsd that parses the reply but then does nothing useful with it. That might have been an even easier starting point (only an stime call needs to be added). Of course some error handling won't hurt, in case the GPS has no lock yet. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
