Harlan,
which is why I sent it to bugs list first, however it was rejected without any
explanation with:
"Your request to the bugs mailing list
Posting of your message titled "ntpq return code upon failures"
has been rejected by the list moderator. The moderator gave the
following reason for rejecting your request:
"The best venue for your question is the comp.protocols.time.ntp
Usenet newsgroup.
If you don't have NNTP access please use Google Groups or the
[email protected] mailing list (which is gatewayed to the NTP
newsgroup)."
