This is definitely the way to go but the script I am using is ntp. Its
using start-stop-daemon, I have tried various things to pass the -g flag
across but with no avail. I include the script below, any ideas?

#! /bin/sh
FLAGS="defaults 23"
test -f /usr/sbin/ntpd || exit 0
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting NTP server: ntpd"
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec
'/usr/sbin/ntpd'
echo "."
;;
stop)
echo -n "Stopping NTP server: ntpd"
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/ntpd
echo "."
;;
restart|force-reload)
echo -n "Restarting NTP server: ntpd... "
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/ntpd
sleep 2
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec
'/usr/sbin/ntpd'
echo "done."
;;
*)
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/ntp
{start|stop|restart|force-reload}"
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
