Tutorial/Simple Clock

This tutorial will teach you how to setup a simple Clock for your computer.

For this version you'll need a Disk Drive at the left side (with Disk) & a Monitor on the right. (Tip: Creating this program on the Disk, will make the shutdown of the program easier.)

Start by editing the file "disk/clock" (from your Computer [cd /]):

while true do
 if disk.isPresent("left") then
   shell.run("monitor", "right", "time")
   sleep(5)
 end
term.clear()
shell.run("monitor", "right", "clear")     <---- Otherwise the Monitor gets flooded!
term.setCursorPos(1, 1)
end


But if you would like to create it with a Redstone Input on the Back:

while true do
 if redstone.getInput("back") then
   shell.run("monitor", "right", "time")
   sleep(5)
 end
term.clear()
shell.run("monitor", "right", "clear")     <--- Same as above!
term.setCursorPos(1, 1)
end

As of the latest update for Tekkit, the command "time" can be inputted into a computer, which will reveal the time.
