It contains three numbers: -.RS -The first number is the correction in seconds per day (for example, if your -clock runs 5 seconds fast each day, the first number should read -5.0). -.LP -The second number tells when -.B clock -was last used, in seconds since 1/1/1970. -.LP -The third number is the remaining part of a second that was left over after -the last adjustment. -.LP -The following instructions are from the source code: -.TP -a) -create a file -.I /etc/adjtime -containing as the first and only line: '0.0 0 0.0' -.TP -b) -run -.I "clock -au" -or -.IR "clock -a" , -depending on whether your CMOS is in Universal or Local Time. This updates -the second number. -.TP -c) -set your system time using the -.I date -command. -.TP -d) -update your CMOS time using -.I "clock -wu" -or -.I clock -w -.TP -e) -replace the first number in -.I /etc/adjtime -by your correction. -.TP -f) -put the command -.I "clock -au" -or -.I "clock -a" -in your -.IR /etc/rc.local , -or let -.BR cron (8) -start it regularly. -.RE -.SH FILES -.I /etc/adjtime -.br -.I /etc/rc.local -.SH AUTHORS -.TP -.B V1.0 -Charles Hedrick, hedrick@cs.rutgers.edu, Apr 1992 -.TP -.B V1.1 -Modified for clock adjustments, Rob Hooft, hooft@chem.ruu.nl, Nov 1992 -.TP -.B V1.2 -Patches by Harald Koenig, koenig@nova.tat.physik.uni-tuebingen.de, -applied by Rob Hooft, hooft@EMBL-Heidelberg.DE, Oct 1993 -.sp |
