Is there a mac intel clock synchronization utility available?
Before you tell me to use Google, I tried that, and all it fetched was apps for PCs.

Apple menu --> System preferences --> Date & Time --> Automatically synchronize ?

I have that set already. I thought it would be nice to have an independent time synch utility to use so that I could see the process in action.

The OS X GUI Date & Time job is a front end for ntpd. You can see that the process is running by doing a:

Code:
$ ps aux | grep ntpd
joe      21665   1.0  0.0    18048    252  p3  S+    4:24PM   0:00.01 grep ntpd
root       174   0.0  0.1    27504    780  ??  Ss   12Sep06   0:30.03 ntpd -f /var/run/ntp.drift -p /var/run/ntpd.pid

It is a faceless daemon.


What more do you want, exactly?

What process in action?

1) Poll time server.
2) Time server returns the time.
3) Set clock to time server time.

Not much to see, I'd think.
