To set up NTP client (and configure Monit to monitor it) invoke the following commands (one by one):

apt-get -y install ntp
echo -e "check process ntpd with pidfile /var/run/ntpd.pid\n      start program = \"/etc/init.d/ntp start\"\n      stop  program = \"/etc/init.d/ntp stop\"\n      restart program = \"/etc/init.d/ntp restart\"\n      if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 123 type udp for 2 cycles then restart" > /etc/monit/monitrc.d/ntp
ln -s /etc/monit/monitrc.d/ntp /etc/monit/conf.d/ntp

Setting timezone

Invoke command dpkg-reconfigure tzdata and select proper time zone (otherwise alarm will start in wrong hour).
