My main Solaris server has an issue with its battery and thus I loose around 20 seconds per day.
Currently I am using rdate once in the morning to synchronise the time. Which approach should I use until I can change the battery on a weekend? Should I switch from rdate to ntp?
The machine runs plenty of cronjobs and thus I need to ensure that everything is started even when the time is changed.
