Pardon my stupidity. ntpdate -q meets my need fine. So does downloading the time from any server that posts a continually updated value of "now". See: https://superuser.com/questions/635020/how-to-know-current-time-from-internet-from-command-line-in-linux
So I have my work-around. It's still true, as far as I can see, that this bug is still unfixed in Trusty, but "ntpdate -q" is quite sufficient to put suspenders on my ntpd time traveler's navigation belt. ;-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1429620 Title: where is the ntpctl command?
