Maybe we can work out a suggestion on what you should do but we have to understand the problem first.
I hope this helps.

Thank you bakunin, you are right.
As I can best describe, the system runs a program called Fuel server. TO me, it's a database that contains customer basic info and records of service calls, oil deliveries, and can run accounting reports. It is hooked up to a large printer for printing oil tickets, reports, etc.. The computer case has stickers for Windows XP.. But it boots up in Unix. That's about it.. It's has no gui, just hop around using numbers and tab, enter, etc...No Internet hookup, just a phone line we plug in when they need to access the system remotely. It's a dinosaur, but has been in place for a long time and works. Would love to upgrade to something else, but that's a different topic.
I was asking the company we work with about the database type (to attempt to import to another program) and they realized what I was going and stopped returning my calls.. I suppose that would be another question.. Seeing a way to find out what brand of database we are using..

I jsut ran the cat /dev/rtc command and it showed me that the rtc was good, but the sys clock is losing time.
