Is there any danger of the rc2.d restarting ntp before if-up.d/ntpdate script gets done starting ntpdate, causing ntpdate to fail?
Since we know that if-up.d/ntpdate will eventually start ntp, we could define a transient 'ntp-will-start' upstart job. Have if-up.d/ntpdate start ntp-will-start, stop ntp, do it's thing, stop ntp-will-start, then start ntp. At that point, if there are two 'start ntp's it doesn't matter, one will suceed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to ntp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1125726 Title: boot-time race between /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate and "/etc/init.d/ntp start" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp/+bug/1125726/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
