What's the easiest way to make Busybox keep correct time?

[Harald Becker]

Try this one ...

start() {
   echo -n "Starting ntpd: "
   /usr/sbin/ntpd -p north-america.pool.ntp.org && echo "OK" || echo 
"failed"
}

Are you sure your ntpd (a symlink to /bin/busybox) lives in /usr/sbin ?

It is just ugly ... and now I got interested to see why?

Yep ... was to give you some information how it works/what we are 
discussing about.

That would indeed be the better way ...
