Same here... unfortunately ntprime doesn't report to the server if it
is in the 'sleeping mode'. I would find it usefull if it would do so,
or at least on startup - just to say: 'hey, I didn't do any new
calculations, but I'm still here'... for all the office-machines which
are configured to run only over night and on weekends, but are normally
turned off.
