Tool for HIMMS Showcase 2013 - Set the system clock via watch.

setclock.sh

#!/bin/bash
# Usage: run this script using the watch command; e.g.
# sudo watch ./setclock.sh

if [ -f "/tmp/clockset" ]; then
  echo "Setting date";
	date `cat /tmp/clockset`;
	rm -f /tmp/clockset;
fi

We need to update this to restart the ntp service else ntpd get confused!

#!/bin/bash
# Usage: run this script using the watch command; e.g.
# sudo watch ./setclock.sh

if [ -f "/tmp/clockset" ]; then
  echo "Setting date";
    date `cat /tmp/clockset`;
    rm -f /tmp/clockset;
    sudo service ntp restart;
fi
