Hi:
     In our system, we're considering if we could use ntp in busybox to 
replace the ntp supported by ntp.org, which has large footprint, so I'm 
doing some investigation about ntp in busybox recently but I met some 
problems. I found that there's only ntpd in busybox, no ntpdate and ntpq.
     In our current system, we have a ntp wrapper to control ntp 
behavior based on our requirement. We use ntpdate to sync time when 
system is started, and we use ntpq to monitor and control the ntpd 
behavior. For example:
      1. After ntpdate synced time, use ntpq to enable ntp.
      2. When we add our own ntp server to the server list, we will use 
something like this "ntpq -c "keyid id" -c "passwd pwd" -c ":config 
server 10.172.1.1 minpoll 3 maxpoll 4 burst"

      I don't know if there's some tools related to ntpq in busybox, so 
we can remove the current ntp in our system and use ntpd in busybox. 
Appreciate your quick response, thank you very much.


Best regards
Catherine
