Hi,
to get the correct system time I use ntp-client in the boot process.
Furthermore in /etc/conf.d/hwclock I set:
# Set CLOCK to "UTC" if your Hardware Clock is set to UTC (also known as
# Greenwich Mean Time). If that clock is set to the local time, then
# set CLOCK to "local". Note that if you dual boot with Windows, then
# you should set it to "local".
clock="UTC"
# If you want to set the Hardware Clock to the current System Time
# (software clock) during shutdown, then say "YES" here.
# You normally don't need to do this if you run a ntp daemon.
clock_systohc="YES"
# If you want to set the system time to the current hardware clock
# during bootup, then say "YES" here. You do not need this if you are
# running a modern kernel with CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS set to y.
# Also, be aware that if you set this to "NO", the system time will
# never be saved to the hardware clock unless you set
# clock_systohc="YES" above.
clock_hctosys="NO"
# If you wish to pass any other arguments to hwclock during bootup,
# you may do so here. Alpha users may wish to use --arc or --srm here.
clock_args=""
In the kernel config file I had set:
CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS=y
CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE="rtc0"
I would exspect that after a reboot of the system which system time is
correctly set via ntp-client that the hwclock and system time only
differ in a small amount of time.
But:
solfire:/home/mccramer>hwclock
Mon Feb 6 19:05:11 2012 -0.172569 seconds
solfire:/home/mccramer>date
Mon Feb 6 18:49:37 CET 2012
solfire:/home/mccramer>
Is there anything else which I have to tweak to acchieve what I want?
Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Best regards,
mcc
PS: I need a correct hwclock since I want to wake the system via the
hwclock.
