[?] Howto: Automate running ntp via sntp during each session startup

[rajibando]

ntpdate is now deprecated, advised 'sntp', but how to automate its running during each session startup?

Currently, have to run:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/ntp start

on a terminal after startup to keep the ntp updated and running.

Knoppix 8.6.1 doesn't do this automatically.

The

man sntp

USAGE section isn't very clear.
