I set the clock with nvram. I've read all the logs. nvram was writing the
required data, just that sometimes the nonvolatile RAM jsut didn't care about
it.
Then when one wakeup is missed, nothing happens at all for days - until
someone physically checks the box.
I've upgraded util-linux and will look at rtcwake (one day).
