Hi Dean, Yep, I kind of put 2 & 2 together from an earlier post (I'm working my way through all my emails this morning) and found the tg.c file in the ntp distribution. Have not compiled it yet (about 1/2 way through all my messages).
I would be interested in your modified tg.c, please by all means email it to me! I do not need it to be super accurate output, I was just wanting it to drive a time display (Kode/Odetics 375-642). Which for that matter, does anyone have any info on that unit, I noticed some jumpers inside but have no clue what they do. Also I noticed Scott replied too with the link, thanks again for all the help and replies guys. :) Jason > Hi there, > > The "standard" source package for the Network Time Protocol package, > found either at http://www.ntp.org or through download with/for a LINUX > distribution, has a tool in the "utils" directory called "tg", which > stands for "tone generator".
