Need to set your Linux box to the atomic clock and don’t want to touch it constantly? Follow these instructions to add a cron task to make the computer work for you.
This is what I have done for RedHat 7.2. It probably works for most RH distros, if you are using a different distro then you will have to figure it out yourself.
Log in as root and go to /etc/cron.daily
Using your favorite editor create the following file called rdateset
#!/bin/bash
rdate -s clock.psu.edu
exit 0
