I can not speak to new app_rpt installs an not sure what you are using for a computer board as some of these mini's might not have a RTC but

you can write a script to sync with NTC and update when you want. Once a day after  2 am works well. Even just on sunday at 2am. But if it is getting very far off every hour, you have larger issues and need to reset it every hour.

That is provided your board has a real time clock. If not you will have to script something to accommodate the change.

This is a script file I use and call synctime.sh

#!/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/ntpdate pool.ntp.org > /etc/asterisk/log/timelog.txt


I am also logging the activity (of any script) in a log directory.

now you need to make a command calling it in your setup for it, make it a macro and call it from your sched as you wish.

If you RTC is getting off by more than a hour, it is best not to let that happen and if it does, do a full reboot to your server just after you correct the time. This will flush all timers and remove potential hidden problems from the swift change.

I have my repeater announce Time of Day on the hour.



With the old Allstar installs, the clock ( time of day ) would correct
itself after about an hour.



With ASL, the time of day has NOT corrected itself at all after 1 week of
operation.
