And if you want a better time keeping: start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --nicelevel -20 --exec /usr/sbin/ntpd -- -g -L -N high --nicelevel -20 to get higher priority in default scheduler -L for listenning on ethernet alias device ethX:Y -N high to use the "real time" scheduler with high priority Tested on i386 and powerpc.
