I usually use Webmin to do this, but I have a server that needs to be updated before Webmin will install. That said, the same server needs to have the clock adjusted (hardware drifts something awful). This server is on a DSL line and up 24x7.

I am aware of the command
rdate -s (ip_address_of_time_server)
for setting the time. What I need is a description of how to set up a cron job to run every 6 to 12 hours and execute the above command. Specifically, I need to know what to enter at a shell prompt.

Any help or pointers greatly appreciated. Thanks!
