Installation

Install dependencies.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install faketime

Copy timeprivacy to /usr/local/bin/.

sudo cp timeprivacy /usr/local/bin/

Demonstration

Create a file /usr/local/bin/tpdate.

#!/bin/bash
faketime "$(timeprivacy)" date $*

Try.

~ $ tpdate
Fri May  3 00:00:01 UTC 2013
~ $ tpdate
Fri May  3 00:00:02 UTC 2013
~ $ tpdate
Fri May  3 00:00:03 UTC 2013
~ $ tpdate
Fri May  3 00:00:04 UTC 2013
~ $ tpdate
Fri May  3 00:00:05 UTC 2013

Let's try something more interesting. Let's add timeprivacy to git. We need to create a wrapper. It will take precedence over /usr/bin/git, thus run faketime and timeprivacy before git itself. Create a file /usr/local/bin/git.

#!/bin/bash
prog=git
faketime "$(timeprivacy)" $prog $*
