Can we change this to 'service ntpd onefetch'?  If someone turns on this
periodic script, I think it's safe to assume that they want it to run,
even if they don't have ntpd running.  (In my case, I have some systems
where `ntpd -q` runs from cron but I don't want to leave the daemon running
continuously.)
