OK I really did try searching the archives for this but after going through 30+ pages of results I gave up. on boot up/shutdown how do you disable the syncing of the system clock? actually just need to know how to disable it durring shutdown since i hacked around a bit and got the startup syncing to work (it was hanging on a line of code that i commented out and now works fine) but if i need to reboot/shutodown it hangs on syncing the system clock (i let it sit once to see if it was just slow... a half hour later i used the sys req key combos to reboot). I haven't had a successful shutdown since installing 9.0 (it worked in 8.2) and have been trying to find the answer. It wasn't a really big deal since I don't shutdown or reboot often (i love linux!) but we're in the stormy season here and I shutdown durring electrical storms which will be happening frequently soon.
Thanks in advance for the always excellent help you all give! Jerry. -- Registered Linux user # 300600 Registered Linux machine # 185855 at http://counter.li.org (o_ //\ V_/_
