I'm interesting to align time in my four DB servers (HP-UX o.s.) of my company. But I'm not just sure to use ntpd -qg or ntpd as service. my doubts:
----- if I use "ntpd -qg": 1 - if server time is backward real time, does "ntpd -qg" slew time immediately ? 2 - if server time is forward real time (< 128 ms), does "ntpd -qg" slew time immediately ? 3 - if server time is forward real time (> 128 ms), does "ntpd -qg" sleps time ? but Does it complete its job before exit ( also if it occurs several days ) For example if offset = 120s, "ntpd -qg" exits after local time is ok that is after several days ? ----- 4- If I have offset = 120s what's difference in using "ntpd" and "ntpd -qg". 5- what traffic bandwith does ntpd use ? For my opinion "ntpd -qg" is better for client, while ntpd as service it should be run in time server machines. What do you suggest me ? _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
