NTP_WAIT(8)		    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 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  sys-
	       tem 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 informa-
	       tion.

       -?, --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.
