Have a look at: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
man chronyd |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
It runs as a daemon. The command line utility to interefere with it is |
| 18 |
detailed in: |

|
| 20 |
man chronyc |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Typically I set /etc/chrony/chrony.conf and run it as a default service. Upon |
| 24 |
setting it up I run 'chronyc sources -v' a couple of times to make sure it is |
| 25 |
working as desired. For laptops which are not online 24-7 it is worth adding |
| 26 |
'iburst' after the address of a time server to allow the clock to adjust fast |
| 27 |
at boot. Additional information can be found here: |
