[systemd-devel] timesyncd on systems without battery

[Daniel Tihelka]

Hello,
I run systemd on a NAS without internal-clock-holding battery, so I think
that
the systemd-timesyncd sets the time to the last known value after restart
and
syncs it from the network when on-line. Is it right?

Now, I have a shutdown timer unit, which powers the NAS off at the given
time.
However, sometimes (about 50% of cases), when the device is powered-on, it
switches off immediately. When switched-on again, it boots as expected.

The question is, is there a way of fixing this issue? I have tried to add
sleep
to skip to the next minute (ExecStart should be triggered one after
another), but unsuccessfully.

Thank you,
DT
