Hi,
whonixcheck is a diagnostic utility that can be run on demand. Not a Tor controller, that is supposed to be run continuously. It checks things such as if Tor's pid is running, bootstrap status, DisableNetwork 1, tor --verify-config and more.
There is one thing in the logs, that would be worth notify a user about it:
[warn] Our clock is 4 hours, 47 minutes behind the time published in the consensus network status document
[or clock too fast]
Now, parsing the log sounds like an unclean solution.
Tor control protocol can tell about CLOCK_SKEW, but it's "only" an event. And "event" sounds to me, only a controller that is continuously running would be capable to learn about it.
Is it possible to use stem for something like:, "Tor, tell me right now about your latest info on current clock skew"? Similar to tor_bootstrap_check.py?
Cheers, Patrick

Well if it doesn't exist and someone wants to implement it, please include in the control line a raw diff field in seconds so people don't have to do hr/min conversions in their scripts.
