Package: util-linux Version: 2.13~rc3-1 Severity: minor Tags: patch Because I have chrony (NTP daemon) running which keeps /dev/rtc busy and is only stopped after hwclock on shutdown, I get the following confusing messages on my console: Saving system clock. Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method. Use the --debug option to see details Hardware Clock updated to <date>
I suggest just not printing the last line if hwclock exits non-zero (because hwclock already prints sufficient info about the failure) with the following change in the /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh stop function. - /sbin/hwclock --systohc $GMT $HWCLOCKPARS $BADYEAR - verbose_log_action_msg "Hardware Clock updated to `date`" + if /sbin/hwclock --systohc $GMT $HWCLOCKPARS $BADYEAR; then + verbose_log_action_msg "Hardware Clock updated to `date`" + fi -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23-rc2 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages util-linux depends on: ii libc6 2.6.1-1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.6+20070716-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libselinux1 2.0.15-2+b1 SELinux shared libraries ii libuuid1 1.40.2-1 universally unique id library ii lsb-base 3.1-24 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii tzdata 2007f-10 time zone and daylight-saving time ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-5 compression library - runtime util-linux recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
