GPS timing without manual intervention

hello,

the fix has arrived. please download the two programs attached to this post and copy to your shake’s /tmp directory. then, log in in to the shake using ssh and issue the following commands:

> chmod a+x /tmp/gps* /tmp/postboot*
> sudo mv /tmp/gps* /tmp/postboot* /usr/local/bin

(ignore the colors, markdown…)

from there you can reboot the unit.

when a GPS module is attached, this fix will:

  1. wait until GPS gets a lock on at least 1 satellite
  2. once GPS clock is locked, system will take this time and set the computer HW clock
  3. start NTP services
  4. start the Shake data services

for the moment, you can know if the clock has been successfully set by looking at the output in the file
> tail -f /opt/log/postboot.log
in a near-future update, this information will also be displayed in the front-end configuration interface.

again, my apologies that this took so long to fix.

please let me know if this works now for you.
