Execute command in script based on year

Vote count:

0

I have a Powerbook with a dead laptop battery... Everytime I disconnect it from it's power source the date gets set to back to the year 1969. This leads to some issues with network authentication, keychain access, etc. I wrote a launch daemon that executes this script in order to set the date to something more appropriate at boot, which works fantastically.

  #!/bin/bash

  date 0101122014

Now I on want it to only run if the year is 1969, that way if the time is correct it won't get set back at all.

so something like...

  #!/bin/bash

  if year = 1969 
  then date  010112002014 
  else exit 0

I know the syntax is totally off, it's just to give an idea of what I want to do. Thanks for any help in advance.
