crontab /usr/sbin/rtc log rc=1

I noticed in my cron log file for my solaris 8 servers the rc=1. I imagine that is return code and something did not process. Does anyone know what that is, is there fix or the implications of leaving it?

Thank you

Sounds correct. Looks like the process tried to start, but either /usr/sbin/rtc was not executable, or the program returned 1. If it happens enough, I'd invvestigate why rtc is exiting with a non-zero status.
