I recently received a program called utc from the net that allows a Unix
machine to automatically call the Naval Observatory to obtain the current
time and update the system clock.

The instructions suggest performing a cu command to connect with the
observatory and piping the output into utc.

However, when I do this, one of the cu processes stays alive and has to
be killed manually after utc completes.  The instructions say:

"You may have to fix your cu to die properly when it receives a SIGPIPE."

Can anyone tell my how I can fix cu?

Thanks in advance.
