The xntpd daemon might die for several reasons. E.g. it might die if the server's time differs too much from the timeserver's time. You could try this:
- Kill the xntpd process from the processlist.
- Make sure that the server's date and time are about what it should be.
- Make sure that xntpd can reach its timeservers as it/they are configured in the /etc/ntp.conf
- startsrc -s xntpd
- Check synchronisation with: xntpdc -c peers
- Check xntpd status with: lssrc -ls xntpd
Subsystem xntpd should stay active.
