- Difficulty: Easy
- Application: NTP
If you find that the clock on your computer seems to wander off the
time, you can make use of a special NTP tool to ensure that you are
always synchronised with the kind of accuracy that only people that wear
white coats get excited about. You will need to install the ntpdate
tool that is often included in the NTP package, and then you can
synchronise with an NTP server:
ntpdate ntp.blueyonder.co.uk
A list of suitable NTP servers is available at
www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock1b.html. If you modify your boot
process and scripts to include this command you can ensure that you are
perfectly in time whenever you boot your computer. You could also run a
cron job to update the time.
