Operating Systems Solaris Execute the ntpdate command only when NTP daemon is stopped? Post 302738855 by fpmurphy on Monday 3rd of December 2012 02:48:30 AM

Ntpdate adjusts the time on your system in one immediate correction. Ntpd is more subtle; it calculates your system clock drift and continuously adjusts it so that your system maintains more accurate time. Ntpd cannot handle a large clock skew, you need to use ntpdate for that.
