Hi Carl. I'm basing this answer on you using ntp or similar to sync your time from a suitable source. Is there any reason why a cron job running hwclock on a periodic basis wouldn't do the job? man 8 hwclock One of the following, depending upon if you have your hardware clock on local time or utc. hwclock --systohc --localtime hwclock --systohc --utc Regards, Morrie. -----Original Message----- From: luv-main [mailto:luv-main-bounces@luv.asn.au] On Behalf Of Carl Turney Sent: Wednesday, 21 October 2015 11:47 AM To: luv-main@luv.asn.au Subject: No need for YACS in Mint? Hi All, Many years ago, I needed to install YACS (yet another clock synchronizer) into my Red Hat (?) system, to keep my hardware clock from "drifting" over time. No mention of it, or anything on clock synchronizers, that I can find for my Linux Mint 17 Qiana. Not needed? Handled elsewhere as a standard feature?
