Thanks! Much appreciated! > To set my hardware clock to the system's time on shutdown, do I need > to create a .service file or does systemd do this already?

So the idea here is that if NTP is enabled the kernel will sync the RTC anyway every 11min hence doing this at shutdown is hardly necessary. And during runtime we have little reason to believe that changing the RTC on every shutdown does any good for its accuracy or even that the system clock was any more accurate than the RTC. Instead, we think that if people change the clock by hand it should be the responsibility of the tool they use to sync the clock down into the RTC. The "timedated" bus mechanism we include makes sure of that. I hope this makes sense!
