Trigger off of an exact time

I want to trigger to do something at some real time. The idea is to trigger an event within milliseconds of a specific GPS time. I know I can use something like below, but that is not accurate enough.
[year, month, day, Hour, Minute, Second] = datevec(now + (UTC_offset/24) + (Leap_seconds/(24*3600))); % for GPS time
There are sites that 'time.gov' that can give you a more accurate time. How can I get an accurate time in Matlab? I would prefer to get GPS time, but if I do get UTC or local time, I can convert that.

You can read the time to whatever precision you wish; you can't control the latency of the connection just over the internet, though. I think msec timing isn't in the cards that way; you would need some direct connection to the time server.
That's NTP and the NIST timeserver link is https://tf.nist.gov/tf-cgi/servers.cgi
Interesting Q? I've not thought about through MATLAB; just used the OS-supplied service; I'd guess passing to it is probably quickest/fastest route.
