rdate is updating the time from timeserver, but is more lightweight than
ntpdate. I couldn't discover a debian boot script for rdate, but it's a simple
issue, so I added this snippet to a customized /etc/rc.local script:
NTPSERVERS="80.237.234.16 130.133.1.10"
echo "Setting system clock:"
for timeserver in $NTPSERVERS; do
if (ping -q -c 1 -i 0.2 -W 1 $timeserver > /dev/null);
then found=true; echo "`/usr/sbin/rdate $timeserver`"; break
else found=false
fi
done
$found || echo "WARNING: No timeserver was reached!"
--micha
ps. you can direct output to a specific log by using function 'log' instead of
echo
log () {
logger -t "xxx_rc.local" -p $loglevel "$1"
[ "$2" = "exit" ] && exit 0
}
