This updates both the init script and the udev hwclock script. Also, the init script is still needed to sync the clock on shutdown; AFAIK udev only triggers the hwclock on startup when the rtc device is registered. In addition to that, this ensures that it works uniformly on non-Linux- and non-udev-using systems. The (previously undocumented) configuration variables for both the init script and the udev script are now set in /etc/default/hwclock. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
