NTP_WAIT(8)                        BSD System Manager's Manual                        NTP_WAIT(8)

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 af-
     ter each status return that says ntpd(8) has not yet produced a synchronized and stable sys-
     tem 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 argu-
             ment.  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 no-
             tice.

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 auto-
             gen-users AT lists.net.  Thank you.
