Application:NTP Sync
From WebOSnerd Wiki

Summary
NTP Sync is a simple application that sets the time on webOS devices based on Internet time.
Details
NTP Sync uses Internet time from pool.ntp.org to synchronize the internal clock. NTP Sync depends on the Upstart Manager Service created by RodWhitby of WebOS-Internals. The Upstart script uses the ntpdate command that is present on all webOS devices.
As of version 0.2.99-7, NTP Sync supports automatic "set it and forget it" synchronization.
