I NTP models the drift when you run it long enough, and adjusts the kernels idea of a second gradually over time. This insures cron jobs don't get skipped becuase you changed 1:59:59 to 2:00:01 in a step. If configured correctly ntp will write the drift to /etc/ntp/drift or similar so if can pick up where it left off. > know there's adjtimex, by I have no idea what how to use it.... > > My drift is pretty bad, about a second or two per hour What's wrong with NTP? > -- > No Microsoft products were used in any way for the creation of this message. > PGP Public key at http://mother.com/~ryan/ryan_at_mother_dot_com.asc > It is also on the servers: Key ID 0x72177BC7 > _______________________________________________ > vox-tech mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech -- Bill Broadley Mathematics/Institute of Theoretical Dynamics UC Davis _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
