NAME¶
adjtimexconfig - find kernel clock variables and save for reboots
SYNOPSIS¶
/usr/sbin/adjtimexconfig
DESCRIPTION¶
This script uses adjtimex(8) to find values for the kernel variables
tick and frequency that will make the system clock approximately
agree with the CMOS clock. It then saves these values in the configuration
file /etc/default/adjtimex so the settings will be restored on every
boot, when /etc/init.d/adjtimex, or systemd adjtimex.service, runs.
adjtimexconfig uses the drift rate recorded in
/etc/adjtime to adjust the times it reads from the CMOS clock. If you
find the CMOS clock has a systematic drift, read the clock(8) or
hwclock(8) manual page, modify /etc/adjtime as required, and
run adjtimexconfig again.
