.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm adjkerntz
|
|
.Nd "adjusts the kernel time if the machine runs wall CMOS clock"
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm adjkerntz
|
|
.Fl i
|
|
.Nm adjkerntz
|
|
.Fl a
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm Adjkerntz
|
|
fixes kernel time (makes it UTC) using the current wall CMOS clock value,
|
|
the current time zone rule and the kernel timezone value. The adjustment is
|
|
enabled only if the file
|
|
.Pa /etc/wall_cmos_clock
|
|
exists, in other cases it is assumed that the machine runs UTC CMOS clock and
|
|
.Nm adjkerntz
|
|
does nothing.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The adjustment is needed at boot stage and when a time zone
|
|
change occurs, so
|
|
.Nm adjkerntz
|
|
can be called in two forms:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 4n
|
|
.It Cm Fl i
|
|
initialization call from
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc
|
|
(before any daemons are started).
|
|
.Nm Adjkerntz
|
|
makes the adjustment of kernel clock (CMOS clock not touched)
|
|
and the initial time zone offset is stored into
|
|
.Pa adjkerntz
|
|
kernel variable
|
|
for following subsequent
|
|
.Nm "'adjkerntz -a'"
|
|
calls. Then it goes to background pause which ends with SIGTERM.
|
|
After receiving SIGTERM it acts like
|
|
.Nm "'adjkerntz -a'"
|
|
to insure that the CMOS clock reflects the current local time zone.
|
|
.It Cm Fl a
|
|
This form is needed, when time zone changes occur.
|
|
.Nm Adjkerntz
|
|
uses the previously stored
|
|
time zone offset and the changed time zone rule to
|
|
produce the new time zone offset, fix the CMOS clock
|
|
(kernel clock not touched)
|
|
and store the new
|
|
offset into
|
|
.Pa adjkerntz
|
|
kernel variable
|
|
too.
|
|
It is recommended to use this form in root's
|
|
.Xr crontab 5
|
|
every half of a hour from 0am to 4am
|
|
since this times matches most modern time zone changes.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm Adjkerntz
|
|
clears the kernel timezone structure and makes kernel always run at UTC
|
|
time zone.
|
|
Super-user privilege is required for all operations.
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Fl
|
|
.It Ev TZ
|
|
Time zone change rule, see
|
|
.Xr tzset 3 ;
|
|
not needed when
|
|
.Xr /usr/sbin/tzsetup
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr zic 8
|
|
is used.
|
|
.Sh FILES
|
|
.Bl -tag -width /etc/wall_cmos_clock -compact
|
|
.It Pa /etc/localtime
|
|
Current zoneinfo file, see
|
|
.Xr /usr/sbin/tzsetup
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr zic 8 .
|
|
.It Pa /etc/wall_cmos_clock
|
|
Empty file.
|
|
Presence of it indicates that the machine runs wall CMOS clock,
|
|
absence indicates UTC CMOS clock.

.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
No diagnostics.
|
|
If any error occurs, an error message printed via
|
|
.Xr syslog 3
|
|
and
|
|
.Nm adjkerntz
|
|
exits with return code greater than zero.
