1) Thats an answer to a question I never asked. :-(

2) I already did something like that - a year or so ago.

3) Just this week I wrote pretty much that, using python.

4)

Nope, not one of my problems. Not now, not in 2) and not in 3) either.


Now, do you have /any/ idea how to detect that the clock has been written to
after the last time the Pi has been switched on ?   As *thats* the problem
I'm currently trying to solve - as shown in the title of this message.
