NTPCTL(8)		     System Manager's Manual		       NTPCTL(8)

NAME
     ntpctl -- control the Network Time Protocol daemon

SYNOPSIS
     ntpctl -s all | peers | Sensors | status

DESCRIPTION
     The ntpctl program displays information about the running ntpd(8) daemon.

     The options are as follows:

     -s all | peers | Sensors | status
		   Used  to  display information about the running daemon.  Key-
		   words may be abbreviated.

		   all shows all data available.

		   peers  shows  the  following  information  about  each  peer:
		   weight, trustlevel, stratum, number of seconds until the next
		   poll,  polling interval in seconds, and offset, network delay
		   and network jitter in milliseconds.	When the system clock is
		   synced to a peer, an asterisk is displayed to the left of the
		   weight column for that peer.

		   Sensors shows the following information  about  each  sensor:
		   weight,  sensor  "good"  status,  stratum, and offset and the
		   configured correction in milliseconds.  When the system clock
		   is synced to a sensor, an asterisk is displayed to  the  left
		   of the weight column for that sensor.

		   status shows the status of peers and sensors, and whether the
		   system clock is synced.  When the system clock is synced, the
		   stratum  is	displayed.  When the system clock is not synced,
		   the offset of the system clock, as reported by the adjtime(2)
		   system call, is displayed.  When  the  median  constraint  is
		   set, the offset to the local time is displayed.

FILES
     /var/run/ntpd.sock     Socket file for communication with ntpd(8).
