| Doc Text: |
Previously, some systems failed to access the hardware clock on system shutdown. This happened because the shutdown script ran the hwclock tool, which attempted to access the /dev/rtc device even if it did not exist. With this update, initscripts verifies if the /dev/rtc device exists before attempting to run the hwclock tool.
