How to notify the difference between Local time and RTC time in timedatectl
As https://access.redhat.com/solutions/5017611 says, In RHEL8, timedatectl can not be used to check 11 minutes mode is on and working or not.
Command timedatectl reports "System clock synchronized: yes" even if "rtcsync" is commented in /etc/chrony.conf.
In this situation, As one of workarounds,we can check if 11 minutes mode is working by monitoring Local time and RTC time
# timedatectl
Local time: Tue 2020-01-21 15:45:55 JST
Universal time: Tue 2020-01-21 06:45:55 UTC
RTC time: Tue 2020-01-21 06:45:54
Time zone: Asia/Tokyo (JST, +0900)
System clock synchronized: yes
NTP service: active
RTC in local TZ: no
Do we have a tool to monitor Local time and RTC time?
