increase accuracy of the hwclock linux ubuntu pc when not connected to network
i am currently using the following commands to set the clock date & time using a network connection on a linux pc:
# dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
# ntpdate-debian
# /sbin/hwclock –systohc
The pc will be will not be connected to a network for a long period of time. Has anyone got suggestion on how to stop /slow the time drift in the PC clock time once the PC has been disconnected from the network?
# dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
# ntpdate-debian
# /sbin/hwclock –systohc
The pc will be will not be connected to a network for a long period of time. Has anyone got suggestion on how to stop /slow the time drift in the PC clock time once the PC has been disconnected from the network?
do you whant to stop time when network it's off or to fix time ?

i just want to keep the time as accurate as possible i.e. as if it was connected to a network . I've noticed that the time can drift by up to 1 hour after a week when disconnected from a network.

If it is a server and the time is critical you can get atomic clock cards or radio clock cards to go in the machine to provide a more accurate time. e.g. something like:
