Hello, i would like to use the command "ntpd -q" to synchronize with a server once, but i need some feedback from the command about the status.
I receive the server name and configuration (like if authentication is to be used, and the according keys) from the user of my program, so i need to be able to give instant feedback on the command. The minimum feedback i would need is : 1.if the authentication is succeeded, and if not what is the cause of it. 2.if the server is reachable. 3.the server timed out (i don't know if the "ntpd -q" command has an option to specify the timeout?) When i use "ntpq -c as" to get some status, i have noticed that this command only works when the ntp daemon is running. As soon as i stop the ntp (with "service ntp stop"), i get the error "ntpq: read: Connection refused". Furthermore i noticed that the command "timedatectl status" gives me back that the NTP is enabled, even though i stopped the NTP service. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
