Again, this is more of an environment issue with your board than
anything else, and can be easily resolved by calling ntpdate on the board,
so... I still don't see the usefulness of this functionality if it's just
applied in one set of scripts (again, half-measures are very undesirable
because they're more painful to maintain).
It can be solved via an init.d script or an upstart job file in a
matter of a few lines.
