Hi experts,
I've a master server which sync to ntp time server daily by using xntpd daemon. Then my client servers will use ntpdate through cron job to synchronize the time hourly. (By using ntpupdate -s -B 'master server')
My question is, now I'll need to synchronize to a oracle server which... (2 Replies)

Hi Guys,
A weird problem. I have disabled ntpd daemon on a HP server and placed
ntpdate in crontab instead and redirected the log to a file. This command
in cron synchronizes the server with a local time server every 15 minutes.
The weird part is that on 3 specific times (5:00 am, 10:00 am,... (2 Replies)

Hi,
Could somebody please explain me.
why is it necessary to execute the "ntpdate" command only when ntp daemon is stopped , and also the probabale solution to reduce the high offset value.
Thanks !!

CHRONY(1) User's Manual CHRONY(1)
NAME
chrony - programs for keeping computer clocks accurate
SYNOPSIS
chronyc [OPTIONS]
chronyd [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
chrony is a pair of programs for keeping computer clocks accurate. chronyd is a background (daemon) program and chronyc is a command-line
interface to it. Time reference sources for chronyd can be RFC1305 NTP servers, human (via keyboard and chronyc), or the computer's real-
time clock at boot time (Linux only). chronyd can determine the rate at which the computer gains or loses time and compensate for it while
no external reference is present. Its use of NTP servers can be switched on and off (through chronyc) to support computers with dial-
up/intermittent access to the Internet, and it can also act as an RFC1305-compatible NTP server.
USAGE
chronyc is a command-line interface program which can be used to monitor chronyd's performance and to change various operating parameters
whilst it is running.
chronyd's main function is to obtain measurements of the true (UTC) time from one of several sources, and correct the system clock accord-
ingly. It also works out the rate at which the system clock gains or loses time and uses this information to keep it accurate between mea-
surements from the reference.
The reference time can be derived from either Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers, reference clocks, or wristwatch-and-keyboard (via
chronyc). The main source of information about the Network Time Protocol is http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp.
It is designed so that it can work on computers which only have intermittent access to reference sources, for example computers which use a
dial-up account to access the Internet. Of course, it will work on computers with permanent connections too.
In addition, for Linux 2.0.x (for x >= 32) or 2.2 onwards, chronyd can monitor the system's real time clock performance, so the system can
maintain accurate time even across reboots.
Typical accuracies available between 2 machines are
On an ethernet LAN : 100-200 microseconds, often much better On a V32bis dial-up modem connection : 10's of milliseconds (from one session
to the next)
With a good reference clock the accuracy can reach one microsecond.
chronyd can also operate as an RFC1305-compatible NTP server and peer.
