| 537906 | 2007-04-04 06:14:00 | What is it with this topic popping up on a regular basis? Just synced my WinXPProx64 to time.windows.com. Shock and horror. My wristwatch was out by some 53 seconds. Last time I did this was some four months ago. I prefer my watch and clocks in the house to be about a minute fast. This includes alarm clocks and others. Reason being I don't want to be late for work, miss recording a TV show, late for an appointment etc. As for file date and time or postings in forums I'm not about to get into milliseconds. It has probably taken me between 3 - 7 minutes to type this. Computer says 17:19 when I post this. |

| 537908 | 2007-04-04 06:17:00 | A cronjob is a scheduled task. Cron is the scheduling system used by Linux / Unix. If I remember correctly, the PressF1 server runs Fedora Core 5. Great. Thanks! |

| 537909 | 2007-04-04 06:21:00 | As Bletch says. A cron or scheduled task will do the job. Why worry about 5 minutes though? |

| 537912 | 2007-04-05 03:47:00 | As Bletch says. A cron or scheduled task will do the job. Why worry about 5 minutes though? Because I keep missing the start of my TV programmes. :rolleyes: |

| 537913 | 2007-04-05 03:56:00 | That's easily fixed. Just turn on DST and you'll be in front of the TV set in plenty of time. :cool: | Graham L (2) | ||
