Hi all,
I've just noticed bug 1999, "Remove PMOTG output sentence from Type-20
driver".
[]
Whilst I agree that ntpd probably doesn't need to send this by default,
and
also have no imminent concern as we're using the new stable release
4.2.6p4
which still sends the PMOTG messages at the poll interval, I'd like to
know
that ntpd can still be built with this mechanism enabled for refclock 20
in
future versions.
[]
I also appreciate that this is a real corner case and that I'm a little
fish
in a big pond, so I could understand if there was no desire to
accomodate my
needs, but it would be good to know what the future holds in this regard
before I pack and ship my nav sw.
Regards
Darren Long
Darren, as the originator of this "bug", I would be quite happy to see it
as an option in future versions, but I would rather it was not the
default. I do like what you've done with the option, and it allows a very
simple heartbeat/health-checker to be built.
By the way: I was seeing pulses every second, not just at the poll
interval. Poll-interval pulses (i.e. one per 16 seconds for a PPS clock
source) would be OK with me as well, although I would /prefer/ none..
Cheers,
David
