30 minutes is more than a little optimistic! NTPD needs something like
ten hours to stabilize with the best time you are going to get. Thirty
minutes after startup is about when NTPD gets days, hours, and minutes
right. The next nine and a half hours will be devoted to improve the
accuracy.
This should suggest to you that NTDP should be run 24 hours a day, seven
days a week. . . . .
It's not always possible, but TRY!
