They don't. (No 'rdate' and no 'clock'). Adapted from my /etc/crontab: 24 4 * * * root /usr/sbin/ntpdate <timeserver> 1>/dev/null You'll have to select a timeserver for your system, RTFM. You may also want to modify the time specs at which the script runs (my own system syncs four times daily). -- Karsten M.
