how can I set knoppix to run ntpdate at start up? Where do I put the file?
This is how I fix the date and time with Knoppix 3.3, running from a
copy of the CD on the hard drive. This script works well if you have a
slow modem dialup link and will also crash the timezone to your
location. Edit as required for your locale.
1) You can put this script either into /etc/network so it runs when ppp
comes up if your computer connects directly to the internet, or in
/etc/init.d/ and invoke it from /etc/inittab and /etc/init.d/localrc if
your computer is on a LAN behind a router or firewall.
knx-clock
#!/bin/bash
rm /etc/localtime
cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Pacific/Auckland /etc/localtime
echo 'Pacific/Auckland' >/etc/timezone
echo "ntpdate not run on boot" > /root/clockset.txt
status=0
count=0
timeservers=$(cat /etc/default/ntp-servers)
until [ $status -eq 1 ] || [ $count -eq 3 ]
do
ntpdate -but 5 $timeservers && status=1
count="$((count + 1))"
done 2>&1 |tee /root/clockset.txt
2) Edit /etc/default/ntp-servers to add your ISPs ntp servers.
3) KNOPPIX - Configure - Save KNOPPIX Configuration, then reboot.
