> Synchronize local date and time via HTTP headers from web servers.

- Synchronize date and time:

`sudo htpdate {{host}}`

- Perform simulation of synchronization, without any action:

`htpdate -q {{host}}`

- Compensate the systematic clock drift:

`sudo htpdate -x {{host}}`

- Set time immediate after the synchronization:

`sudo htpdate -s {{host}}`
