Thanks rbattle1 for your response.
The user wants us to create a script that runs on the UNIX HP-UX server every 10 min and check for any time drifts >+/- 50 ms. If the time drift is >+/- 50 ms then the script should trigger an email to the user.
I am not quite sure the next steps of the user once they are aware of time drifts.
After talking to couple of DBAs & googling, I understood that if the NTP service runs every 10 minutes on the server, it creates ntp.drift file every time NTP service runs. And ntp.drift contains the offset information and I can use this to calculate time in milli seconds and calculate the time drift. Is this assumption correct?
Please advise. I just want to make sure I am doing the right thing.
Thanks very much in advance.
