I have put the following in /etc/crontab. 11 18 * * * root /usr/bin/rdate -s 192.168.1.1 12 18 * * * root /sbin/hwclock --systohc
192.168.1.1 is an internal timeserver (tardis 2000) I see an entry in syslog Jan 29 18:11:01 hanroute /USR/SBIN/CRON[16910]: (root) CMD ( /usr/bin/rdate -s 192.168.1.1) Jan 29 18:12:01 hanroute /USR/SBIN/CRON[16913]: (root) CMD ( /sbin/hwclock --systohc) BUT the system clock is not corrected. If I issue the command at the prompt it always works but it does not work as a cron job. I have tried this with various time servers and it always works at the prompt but never in cron. rdate is a link to busybox Any ideas how to make this work with cron?
