ntpclient#
The ntpclient
is a psh
applet related to networking, which allows to
set the system’s date in UTC from a remote host.
Running ntpclient
with -h
argument prints help message as follows:
Usage: ntpclient [options]
-h: prints help
-s: specify ntp server address
By default, ntpclient
assumes ntp.pool.org
as the address of time-server.
Specifying the custom address of the time-server to query for the current time
is optional and may be achieved using the -s
switch, as in the example below,
where time.coi.pw.edu.pl
was chosen as the address of the time-server:
(psh)% ntpclient -s time.coi.pw.edu.pl
Using NTP server: time.coi.pw.edu.pl
System time in UTC was Fri Aug 5 17:29:48 2022
System time set to UTC Fri Aug 5 17:29:48 2022
