Hello, I don't know if I'm on the right list. Please point me to a better list if I'm wrong. What I want to do is to adjust time *once a day* only, but I would prefer to not let the system time jump. So I have the choice between adjtime and adjtimex. I would prefer adjtimex, as it enables "11 minute mode" for the hardware clock. I tried to set an offset with adjtimex and set the clock to status "TIME_OK". My problem is, that this status seems to get lost as soon as my program exits. If I use "adjtime", then my offset is stored but I can't set the clock to "TIME_OK", so I have to handle hwclock on my own. Is it possible to use "adjtimex" in a "fire and forget" manner? Is it possible to set an offset and time status to "OK" and keep this status even if my process exits? Thanks in advance. Greetings, Manuel
