Background:
According to my VAX Hardware Handbook, the VAX-11/750 has two clocks,
a programmable realtime clock and a time-of-year clock. The realtime
clock is based on a crystal oscillator with an accuracy of 0.01% and a
resolution of 1 microsecond. This is the clock that UNIX 4.3 BSD uses
to keep track of time. The time-of-year clock provides the correct
time to the system in the event of a power failure or other system
crash.
Here is the question:
How can I get the computer to reset the realtime clock using the
time-of-year clock without taking down the system?
