How do I update time from the internet?

[turbine]

Hope this is the right forum, didn't quite know where to put it. I'm looking for something akin to a bash script that will update my computer's time from some internet time source. Once I have such a script then I would set it up to run as a daily cron job.

quick and usually working answer is to open a console and do

sudo ntpdate ntp.nameoftimeserver.com

replace nameoftimeserver with one close to you, use google to find one or try this link
http://ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Servers/...OneTimeServers

as for script just make it a cronjob, here you have a consise tutorial,
