ALErs -

I use a USNO server, with the following script (from a RH-6.2 box):

****************************************************
#!/bin/sh
ntpdate tock.usno.navy.mil
setclock
****************************************************

It's called by an even simpler script in '/etc/cron.daily', just dumping
the console output to '/dev/null'. How should I invoke it to send its
output to a log?
