[CLUE-Tech] Synching time shell script, where to put it to autosynch?

[ian]

Why aren't you just running ntpd?  

Doing something like ntpdate on a daily/weekly basis can really mess up
your system.   Most programs can't handle major jumps in time safely.  
Some programs are known to corrupt data if time jumps to a time in the
past while the program is running.  

Food for thought.
