THX for Your answer! I synchronize the system clock to an external source so I use do_adjtimex to do this gently (not skipping or repeating seconds). It seems for me that this function is capable to sync the system time with RTC periodically. If I read the code carefully enough this function used for NTP protocol implementation which is almost what I'm trying to do. The hwclock also a good issue, but it is not able to modify the system clock gently. THX && Good byte! -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
