The crontab file contains the following entry:

30 * * * * /usr/sbin/ntpdate ntp1.verigon.com

You have just been notified that the ntpdate command will be deprecated. Which command should you use instead?


You should use the ntpd command instead. You should replace the entry with the following entry:

30 * * * * /usr/sbin/ntpd -g ntp1.verigon.com

This command would regularly update the Linux computer's time at 30 minutes past each hour every day.

The ntpq command is used to check the status of an NTP client.

The date command is used to display or change the date setting in a Linux computer. However, it does not automatically change the setting to the time server's setting.
