Synchronize and set the date and time via NTP. More information: <http://support.ntp.org/documentation>.

  • Synchronize and set date and time:
    sudo ntpdate host
  • Query the host without setting the time:
    ntpdate -q host
  • Use an unprivileged port in case a firewall is blocking privileged ports:
    sudo ntpdate -u host
  • Force time to be stepped using `settimeofday` instead of `slewed`:
    sudo ntpdate -b host
