systemd-timesyncd.service(8)

NAME

   systemd-timesyncd.service, systemd-timesyncd - Network Time
   Synchronization

SYNOPSIS

   systemd-timesyncd.service

   /lib/systemd/systemd-timesyncd

DESCRIPTION

   systemd-timesyncd is a system service that may be used to synchronize
   the local system clock with a remote Network Time Protocol server. It
   also saves the local time to disk every time the clock has been
   synchronized and uses this to possibly advance the system realtime
   clock on subsequent reboots to ensure it monotonically advances even if
   the system lacks a battery-buffered RTC chip.

   The NTP servers contacted are determined from the global settings in
   timesyncd.conf(5), the per-link static settings in .network files, and
   the per-link dynamic settings received over DHCP. See
   systemd.network(5) for more details.

   timedatectl(1)'s set-ntp command may be used to enable and start, or
   disable and stop this service.

FILES

   /var/lib/systemd/clock
       This file contains the timestamp of the last successful
       synchronization.
