HOURprog is a utility that wakes up about once an hour and says

Why run HOURprog all the time?                                                                                                      
                                                                                                                                    
1. when you look at the system console, you'll be able to                                                                           
determine (within an hour) when messages were displayed.                                                                            
                                                                                                                                    
2. it does a clock synchronization with a network time server                                                                       
once an hour.  If, like some HP 3000s, your system is loosing a                                                                     
second a day, this will workaround that problem.
