NTP
NTP – short for Network Time Protocol
- is the most common method to synchronize the software clock of a Linux system.
Setup
NTP can be installed on most distributions by installing the
ntp package.
Usage
The following section describes the usage of the NTP package.
Synchronize Time once
For one time synchronization of the time and date the ntpdate command can be
used.
The following command is an example for a one time sync.
Note that the server has to be changed for different time zones.
In this case a German time-server is used.
ntpdate ptbtime1.ptb.de
Alternatively the time can be displayed only – without changing the systems
time – by using the -q flag.
ntpdate -q ptbtime1.ptb.de
