Hi, > I just submitted a patch on 14-09-27 that adds this functionality > without creating a new state file. Nice! I guess this is the patchset: <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.utilities.util-linux-ng/9918> However I am not sure how those patches adds the functionality I am looking for. Can you explain how you would use hwclock to get and set the time without a write access to the hardware clock?
