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) dae-
       mon.

       The options are as follows:

       -s all |	peers |	Sensors	| status
		     Used to display information  about	 the  running  daemon.
		     Keywords 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, net-
		     work delay	and network jitter in milliseconds.  When  the
		     system  clock  is	synced	to a peer, an asterisk is dis-
		     played to the left	of the weight column for that peer.

		     Sensors shows the following information about  each  sen-
		     sor:  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 dis-
		     played 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  re-
		     ported by the adjtime(2) system call, is displayed.  When
		     the  median  constraint  is  set, the offset to the local
		     time is displayed.
