This is different from your case which is simply temporary network outage somewhere between your system and time servers. Your sources are not "offline" so you do not need to place them "online". > I currently have it in the scripts /etc/network/if-up.d/01_start_chrony and > /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/wwan0 . > Because NM dispatcher script offlines sources when local system configuration makes it impossible to reach them. Again, it is unrelated to connectivity status outside your system. In this case chrony simply continues to poll sources until they start answering again. > My chrony.conf file: > > pool pool.ntp.org iburst auto_offline > driftfile /var/lib/chrony/drift > makestep 1.0 3 > rtcfile /var/lib/chrony/rtc > rtconutc > rtcautotrim 30 > > You also asked: > "Is your board shut down when it gets power failure indication or it is > simply switched off?" > > It is just switched off, no shut down in case of power failure. > > Uwe > > > > From: Andrei Borzenkov > Sent: Saturday, September 11, 2021 12:10 PM > To: chrony-users@chrony.tuxfamily.org > Subject: Re: [chrony-users] How to detect internet becoming available > > This email originated from outside of your organization.

Re: [chrony-users] How to detect internet becoming available
Dear Andrei, You wrote: "Why? chrony should recover when time sources become reachable." Indeed, it seams to work ... I used ntp before, and with ntp it did not work without restarting ntp ... But what is the command chronyc online needed for if chronyd discovers the online status automatically? I currently have it in the scripts /etc/network/if-up.d/01_start_chrony and /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/wwan0 . My chrony.conf file: pool pool.ntp.org iburst auto_offline driftfile /var/lib/chrony/drift makestep 1.0 3 rtcfile /var/lib/chrony/rtc rtconutc rtcautotrim 30 You also asked: "Is your board shut down when it gets power failure indication or it is simply switched off?" It is just switched off, no shut down in case of power failure.

[chrony-users] How to detect internet becoming available
Hello, we have an Linux ARM board that can be connected to the internet using a wired connection. Chrony is started at boot time. After a power failure it can happen that our board starts up BEFORE internet becomes available, for example because the router it is connected to has a higher startup-and-sync time than our board. How can I inform chrony that internet is available? I know I can use the command "chronyc online", but how can I trigger that without using network manager? Uwe Fechner
