Linux time update util

Hey, does anyone know of a small app i can run on my linux box so it gets the accurate time off an atomic clock every few hours or summin? My hardware clock seems to be a bit borked :P

Head over to http://ntp.org. Install the ntp tools and you can set a cron job to set the time/date however often you would like. :)

cool! to setup a cron job (running rh9) do i just put a link to it in /etc/cron.daily ? if im wrong can u tell me how? Thanks greatly :)

Just make a script as follows:

Code:

---

#!/bin/bash

ntpdate navobs1.gatech.edu

---

You can use whatever server you like.

Now:

Code:

---

su -
(enter root password)
mv /path/to/script /etc/cron.daily
chmod 755 /etc/cron.daily/script.sh

---

That's all there is to it! :)

cool, thanks! :D
