-
- <para>The <command>setclock</command> script reads the time from the hardware
- clock, also known as the BIOS or the Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor
- (CMOS) clock. If the hardware clock is set to UTC, this script will convert the
- hardware clock's time to the local time using the
- <filename>/etc/localtime</filename> file (which tells the
- <command>hwclock</command> program which timezone the user is in). There is no
- way to detect whether or not the hardware clock is set to UTC, so this
- needs to be configured manually.</para>
-
- <para>The <command>setclock</command> is run via
- <application>udev</application> when the kernel detects the hardware
- capability upon boot. It can also be run manually with the stop parameter to
- store the system time to the CMOS clock.</para>
-
- <para>If you cannot remember whether or not the hardware clock is set to UTC,
- find out by running the <userinput>hwclock --localtime --show</userinput>
- command. This will display what the current time is according to the hardware
- clock. If this time matches whatever your watch says, then the hardware clock is
- set to local time. If the output from <command>hwclock</command> is not local
- time, chances are it is set to UTC time. Verify this by adding or subtracting
- the proper amount of hours for the timezone to the time shown by
- <command>hwclock</command>. For example, if you are currently in the MST
- timezone, which is also known as GMT -0700, add seven hours to the local
- time.</para>
-
- <para>Change the value of the <envar>UTC</envar> variable below
- to a value of <parameter>0</parameter> (zero) if the hardware clock
- is <emphasis>not</emphasis> set to UTC time.</para>
-
- <para>Create a new file <filename>/etc/sysconfig/clock</filename> by running
- the following:</para>
-
-<screen><userinput>cat &gt; /etc/sysconfig/clock &lt;&lt; "EOF"
-<literal># Begin /etc/sysconfig/clock
-
-UTC=1
-
-# Set this to any options you might need to give to hwclock,
-# such as machine hardware clock type for Alphas.
-CLOCKPARAMS=
-
-# End /etc/sysconfig/clock</literal>
-EOF</userinput></screen>
-
- <para>A good hint explaining how to deal with time on LFS is available
- at <ulink url="&hints-root;time.txt"/>. It explains issues such as
- time zones, UTC, and the <envar>TZ</envar> environment variable.</para>
-
- <note><para>The CLOCKPARAMS and UTC paramaters may be alternatively set
- in the <filename>/etc/sysconfig/rc.site</filename> file.</para></note>
