Force system to use NTP time Usually `ntpd` will refuse to change (or slew) system time if difference is too large. Is there some way (possibly via `ntpq`) to tell `ntpd`: "jump to whatever time you think is right"? Specifically it should be a "jump if synchronized" action. I would like to avoid, if possible `killall -HUP ntpd && ntpd -g` or equivalent commands

Consider using sntp:


sudo sntp -s time.nist.gov
