Please help, /bin/date or perl "time" is giving incorrect timing....
I have showed the result of three cases that the Linux System time is got
problem.
(1) The first command "/bin/date", I re-execute the command /bin/date one by
one, and found that the time showed sometime will less than previous one.
(2) The second command "perl a.cgi" script(included the script), the output
sometime will not equal to 1
(3) The third command "traceroute www.hongkong.com", the ttl sometime will
be negative.
Also, I using the command "hwclock" to check the bios time, and the bios is
working fine without any problem.
So I am here asking for help why the /bin/date or Linux system time are
working so strangely. Please help me to solve if anyone know what are
causing it.
Thank you.
