Hello, I administer a website, which is hosted on a shared plan. The time on the server is variable and I can not run cron jobs at proper time using the date command in my shell scripts. NTP support seems not to be installed. It is a Red Hat OS server. I would like to know if there is some other way to take a reference time. For example, emails sent from my local computer which includes a special date string or something like that, which can be referenced by the shell script? I use Ubuntu Lucid.
I do not have authority to set date/time on the server, and I have tried to have the admin change the time, but it only makes things worse as the changes are not as expected. Can you suggest a way to run cron jobs at fixed times without using the system date and time?
