Some people might not know of /etc/init.d/swclock. It writes the time |

at shutdown and restores *that* old time on bootup. For some scenarios |
| 15 |
that might get you a time close to reality... (eg if you just want to |
| 16 |
check stuff like "has this file changed" and avoid "clock moved |
| 17 |
backwards" kind of issues) |
