Re: Amazing I have posted twice to this list and not one answer the sql
Well I can say that it's the greatest number of responses received since
I joined this list and thank everyone for their concerted efforts.
This morning I played around with hwclock and at first was unsuccessful in
changing the state of things; I tried hwclock --set --date="4/10/2002
8:47:22" and it said that it received a 3 byte answer in addition to some
return values from, I guess, the kernel's time related functions; but my
clock was still stuck around March 23 of 1934. I tried setepoch but that
doesn't work on non alphas I think. Next I did hwclcok --epoch=1970 and
hwclock and the time had changed. Next I rebooted the system only to notice
the the system time from /etc/localtime was being written to the hwclock; so
upon reboot I performed previous steps and then used hwclock --hctosys and
ran the /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh. I rebooted and everthing I'm happy to say is
going well.
Thanks everyone for the hints and help.
