Thanks JP
Is installed by default, but is not started. I have made a "chkconfig
--levels 235 ntpd on" to make it start at boot.
is there something special I have to do to make it check every minute?
Thanks

is ntp deamon installed with the iso dist by default?
if so, how can i tell the deamon to doit every minute?
thanks, I´m really desperate with the vmware server clock issue.

well if you are concerned about time and want to update it every
minute why not just run the ntp daemon? thats how i have mine setup.

you are right. * * * * * is every minute. In fact, if I change the
command to "echo x >> /txt" it writes a new line every minute at /txt,
but the "/usr/sbin/ntpdate time.nist.gov > /dev/null 2>&1 " dose not work.

Hi all,
My qmail is the latest qmailtoaster plus ISO.
I need to run the following cron as root
* * * * * /usr/sbin/ntpdate time.nist.gov > /dev/null 2>&1
"/usr/sbin/ntpdate time.nist.gov" is executed perfectly at the
console, but as a cronjob using crontab it doesn´t work.
It's set to never run. It needs to be something like:
35 * * * * /usr/sbin/ntpdate time.nist.gov
What I do on my machines is create a script:
#!/usr/sh
# updatetime script
/usr/sbin/ntpdate time.nist.gov
And drop it into my /etc/cron.hourly folder and make it executbale
(chmod +x /etc/cron.hourly/updatetime).
You shouldn't need to update the time more than once an hour. If it's
getting more than a couple thousandths of a second off in an hour you
either have a motherboard issue or one that has a REALLY cheap clock.
