Cron job for syncing ntp - used when the install guides for ntp still do not work

crontab for ntp syncing.rst

Backing up a simple cron template I am using on a Fedora 24 machine that refuses to sync with ntp...This syncs it every 2 minutes:

# *    *    *    *    *  command to be executed
# ┬    ┬    ┬    ┬    ┬
# │    │    │    │    │
# │    │    │    │    │
# │    │    │    │    └───── day of week (0 - 7) (0 or 7 are Sunday, or use names)
# │    │    │    └────────── month (1 - 12)
# │    │    └─────────────── day of month (1 - 31)
# │    └──────────────────── hour (0 - 23)
# └───────────────────────── min (0 - 59)

# Force the rotation:

# Sync the ntp time
