[Solved] Stevie's Local Time

[Byron]

Hey djbob could I get you to sync the time on Stevie the next time you get a chance? It's a about 7 or 8 minutes off.

 

Thank you!

Okay, done. Not sure why Stevie's system clock is so faulty...

[jje]

Maybe by using a cron job we could fix it right.

Right now I'm updating using the WHM GUI, since I'm not sure of the Linux command to resync the system clock. Do you know what it is?

No not right off hand but I'll do a search and see what I come up with.

How about

 

rdate rdate.cpanel.net

You can use:

 

ntpdate -u <ntp_server_you_want_to_update_from>

 

The package can update times automatically as a service and you can have johnny and stevie sync time from each other at a higher frequency, etc.

 

ntp.org

I believe their should also be an ntp.conf file in /etc where you can specify this and have it update automatically...

[Ashoat]

I don't seem to have the NTP package installed. Is there no way to sync the system clock without that package? I'm wondering what cPanel uses to sync the clock...

[Wizard]

ntp is a pretty standard way to sync, shouldn't it be in the repos?

 

If you want to be lazy, there's even ntpd.

[Guest Geoff]

Have you tried my code:

 

rdate -s rdate.cpanel.net

 

 

Looks like it's already installed. Just add that as a cron, and you should be good to go.

[Ashoat]

Ah, I think Geoff's version is the way to go.

 

Wizard: Yeah, it's in the repos, but I'd rather not install something I don't have to do.
