How to use Ntpdate?

[1downunder]

Can anyone give me the usage for using ntpdate.

I have just executed rsync to try and adjust my clock for WA daylight savings, and the post said we should run ntpdate..

Also when I enter ntpdate on its own, it says permission denied

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure you have to make the script executable, Telnet into your TiVo and run the following commands

cd /bin
rw
chmod 755 /bin/ntpdate
ro


Have a look at the permissions of the script, it should be like this

-rwxr-xr-x

If so, try running ntpdate again.

apart from making it executable, you need to specify a timeserver for it to use. A correct syntax is

/bin/ntpdate -vb 132.163.4.103

or just force a daily call it will also use ntpdate.

Thanks for your replys. I was using the 1.5 oztivo image, so It was giving me abit of grief in fixing the clock.

Updated to 1.6.2 and all is well. Cheers
