until now, i've been using "ntpdate" to sync up the clock on my (very mobile) laptop when i wanted to do it manually. all that was necessary was: # ntpdate <some stratum 2 server> and the sync was immediate. from the "ntpd" man page, however, ntpdate is deprecated and i can theoretically get the same effect with some variation of "ntpd -q". but i've tried that and the effect is (as the man page suggests) not immediate. is there a way to have that sync take place immediately using "ntpd", rather than waiting for the next sync operation, to more closely emulate the behaviour of ntpdate? or am i misreading the man page? rday
