Hi,
Haven't heard anything yet. Unfortunately. I still haven't tried
sleeping from a text console yet, so perhaps....
As for setting the clock, the 'hwclock' command will do what you
need. If you're running MacOS regularly as well, then you want to be
sure everything is set up to have the local time in the hardware
clock, not UTC. MacOS depends on having local time in the RTC.
To set the RTC from the system date use: hwclock -systohc. To set
the system date from the hardware clock use: hwclock -hctosys.
Cheers,
Bruce.
