Re: ntpdate problem

So, while ru.pool.ntp.org is pool of several servers, I have to run it as

5 * * * * /usr/sbin/ntpdate ru.pool.ntp.org ru.pool.ntp.org
ru.pool.ntp.org> /dev/null

to check 3 servers from pool?

or more specifically, if you don't want to leave ntpd running,
read-up on 'ntpd -q' which mimmicks the behavior of ntpdate but
allows you to use multiple ntp servers.

ntpdate supports multiple servers too, you just list them as extra
arguments.
