hwclock and fear of rebooting

["David J. Kanter" <djkanter@nwu.edu>]

I'm nervous about rebooting my machine because I have used the hwclock
program to set the RTC to an atomic clock, and am waiting a couple of
weeks to set it again and calculate the drift. (Eventually, I'll set
up the hwclock to make adjustments to the system clock using
adjtimex.)

Anyway, if I reboot will I the hwclock settings in the drift file be
affected, and therefore I'll have to start all over again?

Thanks.
