### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Time-stamp: "Thu Sep 21 08:11:51 CEST 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
# Provides: time
# Defaults: ${HWCLOCK:-/sbin/hwclock} ${UTC:-yes} ${ADJTIME:-}
# Required-Start: $local_fs $remote_fs
# Required-Stop: $local_fs $remote_fs
# Default-Start: S
# Default-Stop: S
# Short-Description: Setting the system clock from RTC
# Description: Reading time form RTC(CMOS) using hwclock(8) and
# setting it to in-kernel system clock, and vice versa.
# If $ADJ is set, 'reload' will --adjust hardware clock,
# see /usr/share/doc/util-linux/README.Debian.hwclock.gz

"""
Changelog:
* Default time in hardware now assumed to be UTC (opposite to hwclock(8)).
* Badyear handling removed. It's (very) outdated problem and hwclock(8)
(as stated in man page) warns about this.
* Do not use $VERBOSE, user must see what happend to system time settings.
* Obsolete parameters: $HWCLOCKPARS $HWCLOCKACCESS.
If one realy wants to disable hwclock or pass some more comand line options,
let (s)he set $HWCLOCK as needed.
* $ADJTIME may be set in /etc/default/rcS, if this feature of hwclock(8) is
to be used.
* Setting of defined year (1/1/2002 in this case) in case of error also
removed. Let user use (whatever) BIOS to correct time/battary etc.
Nobody will update this date to future, but being there is not so cool.
* Didn't find any TZ setup in my /etc/, thus doing it here too.
