Use command grep and locate @Caleb : Yes I could have added an echo ${file} but I dislike having to spawn yet another process just for that purpose. |

How to send ntp request? Keeping your local server's time synchronized (with ntp) is critical unless your server operates in isolation from anything else and you don't care about accurate logging, file exchange, etc. NTP is too easy to install and too easy to maintain not to use it. ntpdate is a one-time set-the-clock. Local computer clocks are terrible time-keepers: they drift. ntp keeps time synchronized. |
