Now that explains why my laptop keeps losing time so badly. ;) I hadn't thought of that. On my servers I run ntpdate and connect to a time server that is local and accepts anonymous connections (most universities run them -- there is a list somewhere do a search on time servers). I just set this up as a cron job. The problem with a laptop is what time can you run the cron job what you know it will be connected to the internet. If you wanted to be really keen you could right a cron script that checks if you are connected and if not delays itself for awhile. Sound like too much work for me. I just run ntpdate from the command line periodically. --On 10/17/00 09:26:02 +0000 Rick Hamell <hamellr@heorot.1nova.com> wrote: > > Anyone know of a way to get the system time to update itself after > the machine comes out of power saving mode?
