Don't know.. I saw this on the web
Centos 7 use systemd. I suggest you use it.
Use the command timedatectl
Enable network time synchronization:
timedatectl set-ntp True
Create a conf file:
vi /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf
with content like this:
[Time]
NTP= yourserver.org
Start systemd-timedated service:
systemctl start systemd-timedated

about it :-)
Can't find it in the repo, what provides it?

Hello
I don't think any armv7 board like cubie has a battery
to backup clock
I think ntpd is the only way, and seems to work well
on my bpi with c7. I will check if dns resolution
works when date is 1970.
I think setting the currenttime can be a good idea on
the rbf tool :-)
On the Fedora-arm list I was pointed to
Systemd-timesyncd
This does MOST of what I want. All that I think needs
to be added is for it to be enabled in the image and a
initial date/time of the image built date be there so
the firstboot has a decent time.

How is system time set at
boot? Is ntpdate run after the network is
ready? How long does it retry waiting for the
network to be available?
I have seen a number of challenges becuase the
system time is back at
the epoch start as there is no battery rtc. And I
wonder how many
armv7 boards have a battery to maintain time across
boots?
Minimally, a process could right the time, in the
proper format, to a
file, say /etc/currenttime every 5 min and at
shutdown.
Then date can be run early in the boot process,
piping this file in. It
would not be perfect and does not help, much for new
installs, but
better than epoch start.
Plus /etc/currenttime can be at least set to the
image build date/time
so not even firstboot will be at epoch start.
Opinions?
