Instead of writing a cron job to use ntpdate, IMHO you should configure ntp and bypass ctss completely. Configure it once on all your hosts and voilą! all your troubles are over (well, one of them at least :) Plus ntp is very easy to setup. If you need help on that or a reliable time source, check http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/
