** Description changed: In an attempt to reduce unnecessary frequent periodic file access to save power, I noticed that indicator-datetime-service is opening and closing /etc/localtime every 5 seconds on my desktop and not apparently reading this file. On the ubuntu phone it is doing the same thing with /etc/writable/localtime. This seems a little excessive, especially because the TZ data doesn't change quite that frequently. It would be useful if this excessive polling on the file could be reduced if possible. + + [Impact] + * Battery drain, wasting energy by a lot of unnecessary polling + + [Test Case] + * Observe how often /etc/localtime or /etc/writable/localtime gets opened for reading + + [Regression Potential] + * Possibility to not get the local time reliably
