ntp daemon only checks at certain intervals for a time server. Which ntp
configuration file could I edit to shorten/lengthen the time between the
ntp checks? The last check was at 07h29 and the time now is 08h24 and it
hasn't checked inbetween.

No, that's the wrong conclussion. The fact that the daemon doesn't log
anything doesn't mean that it hasn't checked the time in the interval. It
may have done it hundreds of times for all you know.

And you can not modify when ntp sees fit to check the time.


If this configuration is not available, what command could I issue to
initiate an ntp time check against the internet ntp servers ie after I
have enabled the net connection?

Do not use the ntp daemon unless your connection is permanent.
