Title: Endian 2.1 increasing intervall syncronising with external time server
Post by: tkbeat on Friday 04 December 2009, 09:51:03 pm

Hello,

my Endian 2.1 Firewall is running in a VM and the time is running to fast in it since last reboot .
Each day the endian is running 2-3 minutes in the future,
if i syncronise it manual with an external time server in the time server menu.
time will go back to the right time for this moment.

Is there a way to tell the endian firewall to syncronise it each hour per day ?

best regards
tkbeat

Hi
I have just asked a question about a cron job for time syncing! I am running a script that does what you would like

Code:

#!/bin/bash

/etc/init.d/ntpd stop

wait ${!}

echo Syncing Time...



/usr/sbin/ntpdate 130.88.200.4
wait ${!}

/etc/init.d/ntpd start

wait ${!}

so if you put it in a folder in the /etc/cron.hourly folder, ours is called settime.sh, make it executable, and it should run every hour, syncing from an external time source. (in this case a manchester university NTP server)
