== It's TIME ==
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 Is it default now on Ubuntu?), but 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. I guess some people are complaining that it's not as maintained? But if you have a system thatis RTOS. Timesyncd is a client-only implementation and may be more suitable for most installations. If you don's the caset know what time it is, then maintain ithow can you run [[cron]]?! Don't let your system get out of sync.
