Re^3: last update time of hardware clock (Windows and Linux)

I am looking for the last time it was synchronized with a time from the server.

On windows, you can parse the output of: w32tm /query /status. It is the 7th line of 9.

The info is probably in the registry somewhere, but a quick search of ms.com didn't turn up the relevant key.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Hello BrowserUk, Thank you for your time and effort, I will try to find a common solution that can be applied in both OS. Alternatively I will create a different process for Windows and Linux. I appreciate your time and effort. Thanks again. Seeking for Perl wisdom...on the process of learning...not there...yet!	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I will try to find a common solution that can be applied in both OS. It's very doubtful that you'll succeed in that. From a very cursory look, I'm not sure that nix retains last NTP update info; but if it does you won't find a single method that will obtain that information on both nix and Windows. They are just too different.

Hello BrowserUk, I am also afraid that this might not be possible (a common solution for both OS). Well I suppose I have to move forward from this point, until the next one. Again thank you for your time and effort. Seeking for Perl wisdom...on the process of learning...not there...yet!	[reply] [d/l] [select]
