hi i suggest you use ntpd for time synchronization. so you needn't to run cron job for time sync, ntpd does it for you :). i use local clock on ca as ntpd time source (it should have some external clock like gps or dcf radio) and internet servers on ra. before i start ntpd i use one time synchronization via ntpdate.

I have found that my server does not keep very good time, so I have set up a job to be run by cron to set the time from Internet time servers. Since putting the jon in the cron.hourly directory I am getting lots of processes hanging around. A snip from ps -eaf gives: root 24623 1069 0 Mar20 ? 00:00:00 CROND root 24624 24623 0 Mar20 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/bin/run-parts /et root 24625 24624 0 Mar20 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/bin/run-parts /et root 24626 24624 0 Mar20 ? 00:00:00 awk -v progname=/etc/cron.hourly root 24627 24625 0 Mar20 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /sbin/timehosts root 24628 24627 0 Mar20 ? 00:00:00 netdate 129.6.15.28 132.163.4.10 root 24832 1069 0 Mar20 ? 00:00:00 CROND root 24833 24832 0 Mar20 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/bin/run-parts /et root 24834 24833 0 Mar20 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/bin/run-parts /et root 24835 24833 0 Mar20 ? 00:00:00 awk -v progname=/etc/cron.hourly root 24836 24834 0 Mar20 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /sbin/timehosts root 24837 24836 0 Mar20 ? 00:00:00 netdate 129.6.15.28 132.163.4.10 Can you tell me what is going on here please ?
