What is the best way to keep the system clock synchronized? I have looked at ntp and netdate. Is one good over the other? Basically I want to know if what is the most secure way to keep the system clock insync. netdate will require me to open up some port 37... is this safe? ntp also... (1 Reply)

Hi Friends,
I want a shell script which will move certain .jar files from a specified location (say /publish/content) to (/publish/archive) on every saturday morning 6 am.
One more thing to add is that before moving files it must check free space at (/publish/archive), if it is more than 60 %... (7 Replies)
All here, thank you for listening. Now I've set up a Linux NTP server by adding a external windows NTP server in /etc/ntp.conf. Then I start the ntpd daemon. But how often does the Linux NTP server update its time with the external NTP server? I've looked up everywhere but found no information... (1 Reply)

Good morning,
My first post and first visit, so hello. I have been asked to see if one of our Linux boxes can have it's time sync automatically because the person who built the system has told our staff it cannot be done. To me that raised some flags because although I am no Linux expert, I just... (12 Replies)

Dear All,
Today, somewhere around 7:30 GMT (2:30 PM Eastern Time) www.unix.com will go down for what we hope is around 15 - 20 minutes as we change out some hardware on the server.
Thank you for your patience and support.

There is one server in my company where the time is out of sync.
When I checked (compared with other servers whose time is correct), the XNTPD variable in /etc/rc.config.d/netdaemons was set as 0.
I changed this to 1, and tried restarting the xntpd process with :
# /sbin/init.d/xntpd start

ntp-wait
ntp-wait(1) User Commands ntp-wait(1)NAME
ntp-wait - Wait for ntpd to stabilize the system clock
SYNOPSIS
ntp-wait [-flags] [-flag [value]] [--option-name[[=| ]value]]
All arguments must be options.
DESCRIPTION
ntp-wait will send at most num-tries queries to ntpd(8), sleeping for secs-between-tries after each status return that says ntpd(8) has not
yet produced a synchronized and stable system clock.
ntp-wait will do this quietly, unless the -v flag is provided. This can be useful at boot time, to delay the boot sequence until after
ntpd -g has set the time.
OPTIONS -n number, --tries=number
Number of times to check ntpd. This option takes an integer number as its argument. The default number for this option is:
100
The maximum number of times we will check ntpd to see if
it has been able to synchronize and stabilize the system clock.
-s secs-between-tries, --sleep=secs-between-tries
How long to sleep between tries. This option takes an integer number as its argument. The default secs-between-tries for this
option is:
6
We will sleep for secs-between-tries after each query
of ntpd that returns "the time is not yet stable".
-v, --verbose
Be verbose.
By default, ntp-wait is silent.
With this option, ntp-wait will provide status information.
-?, --help
Display usage information and exit.
-!, --more-help
Pass the extended usage information through a pager.
-v [{v|c|n --version [{v|c|n}]}]
Output version of program and exit. The default mode is `v', a simple version. The `c' mode will print copyright information and
`n' will print the full copyright notice.
EXIT STATUS
One of the following exit values will be returned:
0 (EXIT_SUCCESS)
Successful program execution.
1 (EXIT_FAILURE)
The operation failed or the command syntax was not valid.
70 (EX_SOFTWARE)
libopts had an internal operational error. Please report it to autogen-users@lists.sourceforge.net. Thank you.
