Systemctl service, some question on start on boot

[Geoff]

You could install and enable fake-hwclock, which sets the clock early during boot-up to the time of the previous shutdown. Then you shouldn't need ntpdate, which anyway might be taking too long to be of much help.

ops, right is not enable ...

Anyway, I don't understand, maybe I'm wrong, but whit ntpdate disable, how is possible that the system after a boot take the correct date?

I mean, the nas bootup, and the date is the original 1970, and after few seconds, became the actual date, so I think that must be present already a service that adjust the date, and is not ntpdate, right?

So, is better enable the ntpdate or use the one that I think the system use?

[Chryses]

Right Geoff, the goal is to have a fast and minimal nas, so only the right and usefull service, no crap or other, only what I need.

Tnx pepedog, very usefull page, but my inexperience is the best in this thinks!

The 325 actually has an RTC..

[Chryses]

So, it have a tampon battery .... ok, so I can "program" the system with the real time, right?

[Chryses]

I'm trying to set up rtc, but no success.....

I can't find a way to set up a correct rtc time ... any suggestion?

[pepedog]

hwclock -w

[Chryses]

works, until the reboot, next the rtc remain at 1970

[Chryses]

maybe the battery is dead? Now disassemble everything and change it
