Rdate giving informational message

I have a little script I use from time to time

# cat bin/settime
/usr/bin/rdate -s time.nist.gov
/sbin/hwclock --adjust
/sbin/hwclock --systohc

When I run it I get a message...

# settime
/root/bin/settime: line 1:  5435 Alarm clock             /usr/bin/rdate 
-s time.nist.gov

I can't seem to find what that message about "Alarm clock"
means. Would someone please explain what it means? I suppose
sth about system date/time changing, hence warning that
alarms may be disturbed.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
