Wow. :-O

So easy...

However... I think the end result is not correct, because the first line substract the "offset" from hwclock:

  nimrodel:~ # hwclock
  Tue Dec 11 20:36:12 2007  -0.470828 seconds
                              ^^^^^

and I'm not sure that is correct. My idea is that when we do these two commands in sequence:

 hwclock --show ; date

the time printed by both corresponds to (almost) the same instant, because the first command waits till the second boundary before exiting. I'm not certain, anyway, that's why I make the comparison >1 and not >0.


Your code, by the way, discovers a bug in the syntax coloring of mcedit: it doesn't see both '"' quotes and does the wrong colours.
