Re: SNTP client: time not changed as requested

Zvi

You could write your own utility in an hour or 2. You get the software clock time, then set the hardware clock from those values. You can schedule it to run as often as you need 1, 2, 4, or whatever times a day. There are 2 APIs involved, IIRC, gettimeofday() and localtime(). Both can be used in CL, although the documentation is for C. gettimeofday() retrieves the current date/time in seconds since a date in 1970, I think. Doesn't matter, because localtime() converts those seconds into a variable that has the year, month, day, hour, minute, and second in it - you only need to substring it and use the values to set QTIME and QDATE. You'll be a little less than exactly on, but the clock drifts anyway, so you will probably be close enough.
