### Steps to force NTP sync

1\. Stop the ntpd service :

```
# service ntpd stop
```

2\. Force an update :

```
# ntpd -gq
```

**-g** – requests an update irrespective of the time offset\
&#x20;**-q** – requests the daemon to quit after updating the date from the ntp server.

3\. restart the ntpd service :

```
# service ntpd start
```
