First thing might be , check the CMOS battery. Iv'e installed a new battery, then another new battery both tested at 3v
This is the main rsync server for remote servers, and it's connected to a 1500va UPC
This past summer we've had several power outages due to storms. Since it's debian I have not looked too far into getting a controled shutdown script . I should , as the UPC has and RS 232 serial connection as does the machine.
At any rate each time the system shuts down abruptly, or manually via terminal, the time defaults to the manufacture date. As it would if it had not CMOS battery, but the BIOS does not loose it's settings.
Think Iv'e covered it all.
Rememberibng there is no GUI on this machine, other then backuppc, and this uses it's own cgi .
Anyone have a solution or idea ?
