Byron Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hey djbob could I get you to sync the time on Stevie the next time you get a chance? It's a about 7 or 8 minutes off. Thank you! http://byrondallas.heliohost.org/php/time.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashoat Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Okay, done. Not sure why Stevie's system clock is so faulty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jje Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Maybe by using a cron job we could fix it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashoat Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Right now I'm updating using the WHM GUI, since I'm not sure of the Linux command to resync the system clock. Do you know what it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not right off hand but I'll do a search and see what I come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geoff Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 How about rdate rdate.cpanel.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krydos Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Right now I'm updating using the WHM GUI, since I'm not sure of the Linux command to resync the system clock. Do you know what it is? You can use: ntpdate -u <ntp_server_you_want_to_update_from> The package can update times automatically as a service and you can have johnny and stevie sync time from each other at a higher frequency, etc. ntp.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvt Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I believe their should also be an ntp.conf file in /etc where you can specify this and have it update automatically... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashoat Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I don't seem to have the NTP package installed. Is there no way to sync the system clock without that package? I'm wondering what cPanel uses to sync the clock... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 ntp is a pretty standard way to sync, shouldn't it be in the repos? If you want to be lazy, there's even ntpd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geoff Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Have you tried my code: rdate -s rdate.cpanel.net Looks like it's already installed. Just add that as a cron, and you should be good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashoat Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Ah, I think Geoff's version is the way to go. Wizard: Yeah, it's in the repos, but I'd rather not install something I don't have to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
