[CLUE-Tech] too many clocks

[Jeffery Cann]

Roger.

I set my software clock every night as a cron job.  This script runs at
1:00 am (as root).  It resets my software clock.

--------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
# get current time
netdate -v tcp time.nist.gov

# set system clock
clock -w
--------------------------------------------

I don't know whether this sets my BIOS (hardware) clock.  I suspect it
probably does because without the hardware clock in the BIOS, the
operating system has no idea what time it is.

Also, the time.nist.gov is in Boulder, so I may be faster to send netdate
command there rather than in wisconsin.Roger Frank wrote:
