  Anybody know how easy it would be to write a script to

  1) auto dial ppp into my link site (work)

  2) fire off nptdate

  3) timeout and disconnect?


  Sometimes I go for a day or two of connecting to the net; 
  and then I don't always remember to do the ntpdate command
  as root.  You'd think that a computer would be able to 
  keep relatively good wallclock time.  But I've found that I
  gain/lose a few minutes a week.

  The easiest way would be to do what I did on my own system:
  dial up the NBS every couple of days.  

  Suggestions?
