Wyse R50LE and sntp

Hello,


I would like to create a crontab to synchronize hourly our Wyse R50LE with a server using sntp.

Is there an issue to this ?

Thanks a lot

Best regards.

Michel

    Thanks to the post "How to add a CRON job" by  Sabrosa-2015, my problem is solved.

    The final solution was for me, under root :

    1 - modifying the /etc/init.d/jexec file by inserting the line "#Required-Stop : $local_fs" after the line beginning by "#Required_Start".

    2 - adding the link S12bootclock --> /etc/init.d/boot.clock.

    3 - activating the cron service by typing "chkconfig cron on".

    4 - desactivating the ntp service by typing "chkconfig ntp off".

    5 - creating a script called sntp_synchro in the directory /etc/cron_daily, containing the following line :

    /usr/bin/sntp  -V  -P  no  -r  server_name  >>  /var/log/sntp  2>&1

    6 - rebooting the Terminal.


    Please note that you will possibly need to modify manually the /etc/sysconfig.clock to set your TIMEZONE.

    The link S12bootclock needs to be created in /etc/init.d/rc5.d.
