Hi, Knowing there are actually two clocks running in my server, the Linux System time and the Hardware Clock. We're trying now to sync the System time with the hardware clock every hour using a cron job. Yet, it's strange to see a result of time-reverse in the log file. (Note that there's no script written on syncing the time in any cron job previously)
