<h4>Description</h4>
- <tt>ntpdate</tt> sets the local date and time by polling the
Network Time Protocol (NTP) server(s) given as the <i>server</i> arguments to
determine the correct time. It must be run as root on the local host. A number
of samples are obtained from each of the servers specified and a subset of the
NTP clock filter and selection algorithms are applied to select the best of
these. Note that the accuracy and reliability of <tt>ntpdate</tt> depends on
the number of servers, the number of polls each time it is run and the interval
between runs.

boot time. This is useful in some cases to set the clock initially before
starting the NTP daemon <tt>ntpd</tt>. It is also possible to run
<tt>ntpdate</tt> from a <tt>cron</tt> script. However, it is important to note
that <tt>ntpdate</tt> with contrived <tt>cron</tt> scripts is no substitute for
the NTP daemon, which uses sophisticated algorithms to maximize accuracy and
reliability while minimizing resource use. Finally, since <tt>ntpdate</tt> does
not discipline the host clock frequency as does <tt>ntpd</tt>, the accuracy
using <tt>ntpdate</tt> is limited.</p>
