I don't think there's any way to check on the status of a motherboard battery short of removing it and putting a meter across it, but you can monitor the CMOS clock and get an idea of how well it is performing using the "chronyc" command line tool included as part of the "chrony" package. The bits you are interested in are the Frequency value in the system clock tracking - the further from zero in ppm, the worse the clock is performing - and the RTC data. Run chronyc from a shell, then enter the commands "tracking" and "rtcdata" (without the quotes) at the chrony> prompt. "quit" or "exit" will return you to the command prompt, "help" will provide info on other commands, or see the man page for chronyc. I'd start by checking the clock in the CMOS on a reboot though - it could just be that it has somehow ended up several hours out from what it should be, but is actually keeping fairly good time and has a decent battery. Sync it up to the actual time, run the system for a few days, then see what chronyc reports for the tracking - if it's not doing well, then a new CR2032 battery a good next step. -- Andy The only person to have all his work done by Friday was Robinson Crusoe _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
