I am running v3.1 on a desktop computer which can be placed in a suspend/sleep state using the power button. When I wake-up the computer, everything behaves correctly (which is more than I can say for Windows), except for the OS clock; which does not correct for the time spent in the suspended mode. For example, if the machine is suspended at 7:00am gets woken-up at 9:00am, the operating systems still thinks its 7:00am. First question: Is using this feature a no-no that could trash the file system(s)? Second question: After I have done this, is there a way to reset the OS clock to the physical clock in the computer short of rebooting? (without resorting to some internet based time source).
