- I've noticed that over a few days, the system clock of my machine drifts
- by quite a few minutes, yet if I reboot it, the CMOS time is accurate.
-
- Is there a program around which will read the CMOS time into the system
- periodically? I don't really want to have to reboot my machine once a
- day or so just to make it keep reasonably accurate time.
