howto start ntpdate after restart ?

[cc]

hi

on my debian sarge stable I have in cron.hourly the following entry:

debian:~# cat /etc/cron.hourly/ntpdate
#!/bin/sh

/usr/sbin/ntpdate -v 130.133.1.10 131.188.3.220 193.67.79.202 ; /sbin/hwclock --systohc > /dev/null 2>&1

because I'll synchronize the system time every hour,

but the machine has a wirelless card with wpa encryption and the cron will start before the internet connection, so the system is hanging each time during the restart.

could someone help me pls to solve this problem ?

kind regards
cc

do you have your wireless card connect automatically when you boot up? I checked my startup scripts and it looks like ntpdate starts after networking does, but you may want to check yours.
