Auto-set time at reboot?

[joe comunale]

I work on my hp every so often. So when I boot it up again I have to keep setting the time each time.

Is there a way (internet/script) to auto set the time at bootup?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Joe:

COnfigure XNTP (NTP) and at startup let it synchronize your server's clock to an external source. There are any number of threads in this forum with the details!

xntpd would be the best option for keeping the correct time, but if you want to set it just at bootup, take a look at ntpdate command.

Hi (again):

If you want a guide to NTP and the use of 'ntpdate' (best used to initially step the local server clock to the correct time at startup) see chapter-4 of:
