Most Unix systems are shipped with NTP, that's what this newsgroup is about. You can find an introduction here: http://www.meinberg.de/english/info/ntp.htm NTP runs as a service (so called daemon under Unix) in the background and synchronizes the system time continuously. If you just want to send a query to a NTP server and display what time is it on that server, you can use the ntpdate command with the "query only" option "-q": # ntpdate -q gateway server 172.16.3.2, stratum 1, offset 0.000227, delay 0.02582 29 Nov 11:49:07 ntpdate[24596]: adjust time server 172.16.3.2 offset 0.000227 sec This means that the estimated time difference between host gateway and my local machine is 227 microseconds.
