Again, depending on your locale, either "x2.0" or "x2,0" may be required regarding the delimiter. You can also make faketime to advance the reported time by a preset interval upon each time() call independently from the system's time using \fB"-7d i2,0"\fR, where +\fB"i"\fR is followed by the increase interval in seconds. .PP Faking times for multiple programs or even system-wide can be simplified by using ~/.faketimerc files and /etc/faketimerc.
