poll 1800 s

notice it attempts to set -157... / 'wed dec 31 1969'
I cant seem to uncover any way to fix this.

The accuracy of htpdate is at least -+0.5 seconds and better with multiple
servers, but huw muc hbetter?
the only way to improve the accuracy is this option?
-b
Burst mode uses multiple polls for each web server to enhance accuracy.

unmaintained, please use https://github.com/twekkel/htpdate

I tried this -
sudo htpdate -D intranet.iitg.ernet.in
But I get this,
htpdate already running

Checking this,
ps aux | grep htpdate
I get,
/usr/sbin/htpdate -D -s -i /var/run/htpdate.pid www.pool.ntp.org www.ntp.br www.wikipedia.org
Is there any way to sync to my local webservers instead of syncing to wikipedia and ntp?

for anyone that needs to add public time servers for htp,
