Summing up:

1. This is for use in an Open Source application I'm developing. I
don't want to emburden each potential user with more complexity than
needed. The application needs the time information - not the server.
I expect the app will maintain a delta factor - correct_time minus
server_time.
2. I don't have root access, nor do I expect other installations/
users to have it.
3. I want accurate time cuz there's a need to get a time stamp on
some application events that will correlate with some off-system
events. The latter will have accurate time stamps.
4. No, it need not be NTP. If anyone is aware of a non-NTP solution
that fits the above parameters, please share that info.
5. Meanwhile, I have located a small PHP script that reads like it
will do it, but I'm having trouble getting it to work. It's at

Thanks, folks.
