In fact, if I change the command to "echo x >> /txt" it writes a new line every minute at /txt, but the "/usr/sbin/ntpdate time.nist.gov > /dev/null 2>&1 " dose not work.

It's set to never run. It needs to be something like: 35 * * * * /usr/sbin/ntpdate time.nist.gov What I do on my machines is create a script: #!/usr/sh # updatetime script /usr/sbin/ntpdate time.nist.gov And drop it into my /etc/cron.hourly folder and make it executbale (chmod +x /etc/cron.hourly/updatetime). You shouldn't need to update the time more than once an hour. If it's getting more than a couple thousandths of a second off in an hour you either have a motherboard issue or one that has a REALLY cheap clock. --------------------------------------------------------------------- QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted <http://www.vr.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted <http://www.vr.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted <http://www.vr.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
