Hi Bob. Thanks for the script. I thought I'd just set it up in /usr/local/bin
as an executable shell script at first to try it out.
Got a problem when trying to run it, with a command not found, and with a bit
more work I get this.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# ntpstartnointernet
/usr/local/bin/ntpstartnointernet: line 6: syntax error in conditional
expression
/usr/local/bin/ntpstartnointernet: line 6: syntax error near `]'
/usr/local/bin/ntpstartnointernet: line 6: ` [[ $? -eq 0 ]
&& /usr/local/bin/ntpd -g'
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]#
any suggestions on a fix?
I changed /usr/sbin/ntpd to /usr/local/bin/ntpd as that is where the 4.2.4p0
version is installed.
btw. ntpstartnointernet is the name of your script.
Nigel.
