Is there a way in these newfangled headers to say that setclock is really an alias for udev? That's what's happening in the scripts, anyway... > And I THINK , ntpd and checkfs should not depend on $time. Not sure on ntpd (although I wouldn't be surprised if it was because ntpd refuses to do anything if the clock is far-enough off from what it's getting from the upstream servers). But checkfs does depend on the time. It checks whether the current time is before or after the last-full-fsck-time plus the days-between-mounts value stored in the ext3 (and probably 4, and perhaps 2) superblock. If it's after, then it forces a full fsck run. (It also checks whether the mount count stored in the superblock is more or less than the number-of-mounts-between-full-fsck-runs value in the superblock, and forces a full fsck if it's more. Of course, that doesn't depend on knowing the current time.) "tune2fs -t" will change the number of days between checks, and "tune2fs -c" will change the number of mounts. "tune2fs -T <timestamp>" will set the last-checked time (can be done live), and "tune2fs -C <integer>" will set the current mount count (can also be done live). All that said, if there's no way in this extra-abstraction setup to express an alias, then we should change the other scripts to depend on udev instead of setclock.
