Question Time resetting to 00 HRS on starting
I Have a SUSE Linux Enterprise server 9.0. When I start the server , using date command I daily find that the time it is showing is 00.00 Hrs. It shows the date correctly. Every day I have to set the time using the date command.
I am facing this proble from last 3 weeks but couldn't find a solution. I had even tried to restore the defaults in BIOS and set the date and time. Still every day I need to set the system date using date command using root login. Kindly help me.

Are you running this on a desktop? If you are, check your motherboard battery. It might need replacing.

Every day? or every reboot? if it is the latter I would place my money on the MB battery as Blowtorch stated above.

I am running SLES 9.0 Server on IBM x260 Series server. When I Shutdown and restart after three minutes I noted that the time displayed using date command is 3 minutes back. If I shutdown today evening and restart next day, it resets to 00 Hrs but the date is correct. Dou you really think it needs a battery replacement.
