[comp.protocols.time.ntp] ntpdate for HP 9000/850?

mosemann@sardion.unl.edu (Russell Mosemann) (02/12/91)

   Does an ntpdate for HP 9000/850 exist?  Has someone ported the code?
For a lark, I tried the xntp stuff located at louie.udel.edu, but, of
course, these little BSD things kept popping out of everywhere.
   I would like to run ntpdate every hour from crontab just to keep things
pretty close in time to our local time servers.  Thanks for any
information.

You can find the whole xntpd distribution ready for HP-UX 7.0 on host
columbia.edu.

I think its probably less of a load long term to just go ahead and run xntpd
all the time or just run ntpdate once a day ... just my opinion.
