ABSOLUTELY NOT! If you already have another process disciplining your clock running a second process would cause havoc. If another process is running there is nothing that you need to do. If you MUST use your own client, you MUST first stop the other process and run your own client (privileged). Never, EVER, allow two processes to discipline the clock.
