MorphOS on MacMini loses time

[LoadWB]

Running a loop script that runs SetClockNTP every hour is not elecant, it's cludge, a really ugly work-around. MorphOS could do with both a real NTP capable time server, and also a scheduler (cron). Those who dual boot with OSX and suffer from hour offsets, that's because OSX is doing The Right Thing™ having the hardware clock set to UTC and calculating the local time from the locale settings - MorphOS should do that same.

It was kind-of tongue-in-cheek.  Something like ntpd would be nice within MOS.  How does MOS handle the hardware clock and time zones?

My MacMini MorphOS machine loses time.  Several minutes per hour.  Anyone else have this problem?

 

Not here, Powerbook, Mac Mini both keep adequate time - no noticable loss per day. Can't say I've compared them against an atomic clock though.

Kolla - ntpd seems a bit overkill for me, a light command line tool with predictable runtime which I can call on demand is fine for such a trivial task, rather than than running a daemon doing comparative analyses of delay times, polling servers every 64 seconds, etc.
I can live with the trade off of possible inaccuracy of a few seconds.
Totally agree about the hardware clock offset though, seems such an obvious annoyance to fix.

My MacMini MorphOS machine loses time.  Several minutes per hour.  Anyone else have this problem?  Is there a good utility to automatically update the time using NTP?

Hi,

Just be grateful that is all you lost, several minutes, my Macmini with morphos was a complete waste of time. ;-D

Just kidding.
