Subject: [9fans] synchronization of time, setting time
Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2009 13:53:07 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a560a5d00906260453m5c198ee8ofa0b157a1339185@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello everyone,

1) If I want to set the hardware (on-board) clock by hand, how can I?
2) If I want to synchronize the hardware time with a ntp server (once
/ periodically), how can I?
3) If I run the 'timesync -n [ntp server]' command, how is the
frequency of synchronization determined? If I run it without any more
special parameters, it seems to synchronize every minute (from the
log, obtained with -l). That is, I think, unnecessarily too often.

Thanks
Ruda
