A while back someone posted a program to fix the inaccuracies of
the clock in the UNIX-PC.  This program called "fixRTC" was supposed
to be run out of cron.  If you need to set the clock backwards x
number of seconds every so often it has a problem.  The program
runs and set the clock back all right but then cron wants to keep
running it over and over again so that "time stands still".  Is it
now in the twilight zone?  Did anyone else try this program and
experience this problem?  Anyone have a fix for this?
