I'm running plan 9 in qemu, I want to use the qemu-emulated hardware clock for
the plan 9 time because it keeps the same time as the host.
I made a script to be sourced from cpurc:
#!/bin/rc
echo '> starting timesync'
if (! test -e '/dev/rtc')
bind -a '#r' /dev
aux/timesync -r
The script runs at boot, the echo tells me that much, but the time is not set,
perhaps as if timesync -r is not working. To be specific the date a few minutes
after booting is Sun Jan 2 18:30:36 GMT 2000.
Should I not use timesync at all? I ask because $boottime (which is set before
timesync is started) contains a reasonable date.
