== It's TIME ==


See https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/NTP.html
Network Time Protocol
 
Network Time Protocol Daemon
 
Also referred to as ntpd because it's a daemon.
 
There's a new system called [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd-timesyncd systemd-timesyncd] (Is it default now on Ubuntu?) ntpd is more accurate <ref>https://digitalbarbedwire.com/2015/05/16/debianubuntu-systemd-ntp-and-something-called-timesyncd/</ref> so it's better to stick with that if you have a system that is RTOS. Timesyncd is a client-only implementation and may be more suitable for most installations.
 
If you don't know what time it is, then how can you run [[cron]]?!  Don't let your system get out of sync.
