The handling of ntpd apparently switched from an old-style rc script to a systemd unit. Since then the stop script will take somewhere between ten seconds to a minute to declare success and continue with the shutdown. I don't see why it should take that long to shut down since ntpd really just closes the ntp logs and exits. The systemd unit file treats it as a forking daemon, which probably makes the check of whether the daemon has exited more involved. But ntpd can easily be told not to fork, so I think it should use the "-n" option in ExecStart and all the stuff that the current start script is doing should go into ExecStartPre?
Regards, Achim.
I was relying on ntpd service since ever until I read about "chronyd" as the substitute of ntpd adopted by new opensuse releases, then I switched to chronyd.
Despite this it seems ntp package being still necessary (?) or could be removed by the system?
It shouldn't be necessary into the future, there have been a couple of issues making that happen but hopefully it will be done soon if not now. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
