I would like to check the chrony.conf file for syntax errors before replacing the working copy of the file
I think I need to use: chronyd -Q -f path_to_new_file/chrony.conf I made a file with a deliberate syntax error and got bryan@number9 ~ % chronyd -Q -f path_to_new_file/chrony.conf 2020-03-08T20:26:58Z chronyd version DEV[3.5-171-gc3e34b8] starting (+CMDMON +NTP +REFCLOCK -RTC +PRIVDROP -SCFILTER -SIGND +ASYNCDNS -NTS -SECHASH +IPV6 -DEBUG) 2020-03-08T20:26:58Z Fatal error : Invalid command at line 21 in file path_to_new_file/chrony.conf bryan@number9 ~ % Is this in general what I might expect? If I do this while chronyd is running will it cause any problems with the running instance?
