Ok, great. I just had an idea, if you only need to sync the RTC and not the system clock, you could let chronyd do that continuously and not have to do anything on shutdown. Disable the hwclock call (or whatever is setting the RTC from the system clock on shutdown) and add the rtcfile + rtcautotrim directives to chrony.conf. The RTC should be kept close to the true time even if chronyd is slewing a large offset in the system time. E.g. rtcfile /var/lib/chrony/rtc rtcautotrim 1 -- Miroslav Lichvar -- To unsubscribe email chrony-users-requ...@chrony.tuxfamily.org with "unsubscribe" in the subject.
