By the way, I am running ntpdate command with crontab.

Additionally, NTPDate is not a service/daemon. It's a one-time command tool that immediately synchronizes the software clock. It's packaged with NTP on some Linux distributions, but not necessarily all.
I would not recommend its use on a system that is running a database. Historically, many database products don't deal well with abrupt changes in system time.
