Hi Joe, Reboot is not taboo. It is one of the ways to have system time set. Easy to write and easy to run. I guess that running /etc/init.d/boot.clock restart with properly set environment variables will do the same, but it is much more to write, read and type. For me to avoid advice to reboot, I would have to look: man hwclock man date script /etc/init.d/boot.clock and then extract information in usable form. After some hour(s) of reading and testing (create test case) that advice will really work I would be ready to avoid reboot that takes few seconds to type in mail and 2-3 minutes to perform. Does that make any sense? -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
