Hi Carl.

I'm basing this answer on you using ntp or similar to sync your
time from a suitable source.

Is there any reason why a cron job running hwclock on a periodic
basis wouldn't do the job?

man 8 hwclock

One of the following, depending upon if you have your hardware clock
on local time or utc.

hwclock --systohc --localtime

hwclock --systohc --utc

Regards,
Morrie.

Subject: No need for YACS in Mint?

Hi All,

Many years ago, I needed to install YACS (yet another clock 
synchronizer) into my Red Hat (?) system, to keep my hardware clock from 
"drifting" over time.

No mention of it, or anything on clock synchronizers, that I can find 
for my Linux Mint 17 Qiana.

Not needed?  Handled elsewhere as a standard feature?

Thanks,

Carl Turney
Bayswater, Vic
