On a similar system I use a little trick so the time is at least always increasing: - touch the file /etc/timestamp just before the system shuts down - on bootup I set the time with: CURRENTTIME=date -r /etc/timestamp date -s "$CURRENTTIME" Erik -- J.A.K.

However, it was just received AGAIN today. I don't Unfortunately, my clock is b0rken. This damn little machine just does not have ability to retain time across reboot. [For booting, I need winCE. WinCE will crash upon boot if something unexpected (like linux) is in memory. Therefore I need to remove main battery for reboot :-(.] It even does not have ability to retain time correctly during powersave mode, but that could be solved. Before someone says "NTP", this machine is usually not connected anywhere -- it comunicates via ATA flash. Maybe I could scan flash for newest timestamp and use that for date...

Pavel, please set your clock >correctly :-) No, Pavel's clock is fine AFAIK. The message was sent in January. However, it was just received AGAIN today. I don't have a clue how it could have happened, but my guess was perhaps vger was restored from a backup or something and the mail queue was ancient. Also, my duplicate filter is still nailing lots of postings from lkml, so some looping must still be happening as I'm only sub'd under this address. -- Mike A.
