For example: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">ntpdc ntpserver.somewhere </pre></div> <p>With suitable privilege, it can be run as a command or in a <code>cron</code> job to reset the local clock from a reliable server, like the <code>ntpdate</code> and <code>rdate</code> commands. For example: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">ntpdc -a ntpserver.somewhere </pre></div> <hr> </body> </html>
