@item More drivers for reference clock support

@item Automation of the trimrtc and writertc mechanisms
|

|

Currently, the RTC trimming mechanism is a manual operation, because there has
|
||||
to be a reasonable guarantee that the system will stay up for a reasonable
|
||||
length of time afterwards. (If it is shut down too soon, a poor
|
||||
characterisation of the RTC drift rate will be stored on disc, giving a bad
|
||||
system clock error when the system is next booted.)
|
||||
|
||||
To make chrony more automated for the non-expert user, it would be useful if
|
||||
this problem could be avoided so that trimrtc could be done automatically (e.g.
|
||||
in a crontab, or as part of the ip-up or ip-down scripts.)
