The script still works as before ..
date: cannot set date: Operation not permitted

I guess this because the python interpreter is still being run by
the
normal user and is unprivileged to set the date ? Is it ?
I'd hope so! No matter what the s
I have a small script that uses python-gammu to read time from my
phone and set the system time:
#!/usr/bin/python
import gammu
sm=gammu.StateMachine()
sm.ReadConfig()
sm.Init()
cell_time=sm.GetDateTime()
import os
os.system('date -s \'%s\''% cell_time)
Now this script works when i run it as root
