Have a look at: man chronyd It runs as a daemon. The command line utility to interefere with it is detailed in: man chronyc Typically I set /etc/chrony/chrony.conf and run it as a default service. Upon setting it up I run 'chronyc sources -v' a couple of times to make sure it is working as desired. For laptops which are not online 24-7 it is worth adding 'iburst' after the address of a time server to allow the clock to adjust fast at boot.
