Yes I got your idea and it seems to work. Thanks for your tips!

Second try:

SYSTEMDATE=`date -u +%4Y%2m%2d`
read TIMESTAMP < /etc/timestamp
if [ ${TIMESTAMP:8:4}${TIMESTAMP:0:4} -gt $SYSTEMDATE ]; then
     date -u $TIMESTAMP
     /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh stop
fi

Is this okay? Should I generate patch?
