Could someone kindly explain the difference between these two files?

hwclock.sh

rcS.d/S11hwclock.sh

I understand these files are both to do with the motherboard clock, but i dont see the difference.....

hwclock is a tool for accessing the Hardware Clock. You can display the current time, set the Hardware Clock to a specified time, set the Hardware Clock to the System Time, and set the System Time from the Hardware Clock.

Source: Linux man page

S11hwclock.sh is where hwclock gets called.

  • Is there a timing system on linux which shows how many time units since the installation, regardless of the current system time (in case the time was changed)?
