My System Clock - Under Slink
Howdy folks,
I'm running slink (kernel version 2.0.33) on a 486 and I'm having an
interesting problem with my uptime. I'm courious if this is a "feature"
or a "bug".
The log below is from a cronscript that every four hours logs that my
system still has a heart beat. This is accomplished by appending uptime
to the end of a file. I know this is not the best way of tracking uptime,
but what the hell. It was only one line of code.
Anyhow, note that at midnight on day 75, my system had been on for 14
hours and 17 minutes. Then two days later, at midnight on day 77 they
system is up for 14 hours and 18 minutes. This trend continues on down
the log. My system seems to be credit me about 24 hours and 30 seconds
for every 24 hours of operation. Any clue as to what is causing this?
Thanks
steven
ps. I didn't realy know what information you needed, so I'll be happy
to provide any system information required to investigate this.
