WARNING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The ntpdate program is deprecated and should not be used any more. To quote the upstream ntp developers: "The functionality ntpdate offered is now provided by the ntpd daemon itself. If you call ntpd with the command line option -q it will retrieve the current time and set it accordingly." Please check the Network Time Protocol (NTP) daemon man page and http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Dev/DeprecatingNtpdate for further information. You can replace the ntpdate call with "rcntp ntptimeset" to achieve an inital poll of the servers specified in /etc/ntp.conf. The program /usr/sbin/sntp offers comparable functionality to ntpdate. Specifically sntp -P no -r pool.ntp.org is equivalent to ntpdate pool.ntp.org For further details please refer to the man page of sntp. /usr/sbin/sntp: illegal option -- F sntp - standard SNTP program - Ver. 4.2.6p2 USAGE: sntp [ -<flag> [<val>] | --<name>[{=| }<val>] ]... hostname-or-IP ...
