Description Bernhard Wiedemann 2011-12-17 19:37:45 UTC 
With systemd the /etc/init.d/boot.clock is no more executed, so the battery-backed RTC will not be updated on shutdown anymore.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=750883
suggests that ntpd should update the RTC when synced.

Note that when running ntpd, the kernel can sometimes update the RTC, but only the minutes+seconds part to not mess with timezones/DST, so you often see the clock being exactly one hour off after reboot.

Werner, how can we port /etc/init.d/boot.clock systemd?
Comment 2 Dr. Werner Fink 2011-12-22 14:11:29 UTC 
Hmmmm ... AFAICR this is done already by systemd?
