https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=253399 ------- Comment #4 from kmachalkova@novell.com 2007-03-19 02:55 MST ------- I see your point now. We have similar functionality in 'automatic online update' module now, where one can set up cron job (on daily or weekly basis) for dowloading patches. So it should not be that difficult to add it to y2-ntp-client so that user can set up exact time for synchronizing with ntp server Anyway, I'll file a feature request for this anyway. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

So a cronjob would not do the job as expected. And this is really a very, very rare usecase, so the additional options would confuse more customers than help. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The daemon while running synchronizes reguralry with the servers and peers. The only thing you need to assure is that the NTP daemon is running, which is something the YaST UI offers. NetworkManager is able to handle NTP with temporary connection (eg. laptops). Calling ntpdate makes sense only if you have network access only temporarily or before you start ntpd, since it doesn't behave correctly if the difference between network time and local time. Also, using ntpdate is not failure-proof. NTP daemon can handle several servers, ntpdate only one, which results in impossibility to synchronize if one server fails. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
