To sync the time on a linux system, with every reboot. Just install ntpdate 
>apt-get install ntpdate
>crontab -e
add the following line to the crontab 
@reboot ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com
if you want to sync once a day just add the following line to the crontab via >crontab -e 
36 4 * * * ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com
so every da at 4:36 am the time will be synced.
