I would expect that the commands Luniz2k1 provided would work.

I only ran V23 for a few weeks if even that and never needed to issue the commands.

I know rebooting the router updates the time.

If it were that easy I would have already done it. Sadly the build I'm running was created before DST was changed, so the start/stop dates are not accurate. It was an easy enough fix on my FreeBSD systems, just run make install in /usr/ports/misc/zoneinfo then run tzsetup and reselect my TZ. There is no obvious upgrade path for the TZ info, and since I can't even seem to find where in the directory structure the info is kept I have no hope of correcting it myself. I could just set the wrong TZ for a few weeks, then set it back, but I'd prefer to fix it than work around it.

I guess I could just go to a current build, but getting my router to take a flash is always an exercise in frustration.

I need to just move a FreeBSD box up to the front of the network and use it for routing, but I'm lazy like that.

Just a bump to remind people how to get their time updated because of DST:

Code:
stopservice process_monitor
startservice process_monitor


Give a sec or 2 between each command. No reboot needed. Uptime will not be lost.

Worked for me to update time on WRT320N to account for DST change but did cause a hiccup in my OpenVPN site-to-site connection. Will see if this corrects the fast running clock issue I'm having with the WRT320N: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=417189&highlight=#417189

This worked perfectly for me as well. Thanks! Smile

So...this seems to have worked automatically for exactly no one, including me. What's going on? Surely having it set right and on a working NTP is enough, and surely it checks these things once a day. Apparently not.

No...once again...an ongoing problem.

It is checked at boot up...then after 120 seconds for a second time....that's it.

Wow, I definitely missed that conversation before.

And that dovetails perfectly with the WAN graph issue seen by some now and again, where it stops recording bandwidth. One reason is because the time is wrong (not an hour off, but unset). The time can be wrong because the router was rebooted when your connection wasn't live for whatever reason (e.g. DSL down, or a modem problem), and unaided the router never checks time again after that. I don't know why in that scenario the router doesn't simply stick with the time it had before the reboot instead of resetting it--and maybe it usually does remember it--but it certainly doesn't always do that.

So is there any "special" script to get NTP to update once a day?

TIA

Here is mine situation:

Linksys 610v1 build svn 13000 std-nokaid-usb - time is fine
Netgear 3300 build svn 13230 std - time was off 1 hour

The ntp settings are exactly the same on both routers. Linksys is my main AP, Netgear is set as Client Bridge on 5GHz.

Restart the process_monitor on the host, then the client router.

It has to be performed on both units...host first...then clients.

You could write a script and run it as a cron job once a day if you really want to.

I find it isn't necessary...once it gets the time...you should be all set after that...the majority of the problems are due to DST changes.

IF it gets the time. That isn't always the case. All it takes is for a reboot when the NTP server is offline or when there's a momentary WAN interruption.
