Hi, I would like to sync my CentOS 6.3 hardware clock time to my NTP server's time. Can I do that without reboot the hosts?

If yes, it would be great if anyone of you can provide me steps to do that. I am newbie in CentOS.

ntpdate <ntp-server-name>

service ntpd restart

Before doing ntpdate adjust the clock to within a minute of network time.

Otherwise it will take some time to adjust.

Using root privs:

/etc/init.d/ntpd stop /usr/sbin/ntpdate 2.us.pool.ntp.org # (or any other local public ntp server) /sbin/hwclock --systohc /etc/init.d/ntpd start

i suggest to use the client way to sync your time. Compared to the ntpd way it will not listen on specific network port. Client way means using the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ntpdate service configured in /etc/ntp/step-tickers and /etc/sysconfig/ntpdate. Enabled it via

$ chkconfig ntpdate on && service ntpdate start
