Simple init.d script "date-loadstore"

--------------------------begin-------------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# store date on shutdown and load at startup
#

RETVAL=0

start() {
    echo -n "Loading date "
    DATE=`cat /etc/shutdown-date`
    date -s "$DATE"
    RETVAL=$?
    echo
    return $RETVAL
}

stop() {
    echo -n "Storing date "
    date '+%D %X' > /etc/shutdown-date
    RETVAL=$?
    return $RETVAL
}

case "$1" in
        start)
            start
            ;;

        stop)
            stop
            ;;

        *)
            echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
            exit 1

esac

echo "done."

exit $RETVAL
------------------------end---------------

1. I did not test it (please debug)
2. Remove init.d script which is setting the date from system clock
