Which will not work at all if he is not using ntpd.
IIUC the discussion concerned how to best restart ntpd. The OP was concerned about the accuracy of time on his linux system, and ntpd (or periodic ntpdate) is the obvious answer.
No, it isn't. Not if he has a missaligned "/etc/adjtime", as he surely has, and that is not solved by restarting ntpd a hundred times. Everytime he boots up the time would be bad again.
I've not seen that condition in 10 years among the few hundred linux boxes here, but should /etc/adjtime actually be defective, one could just nuke it and be good to go. I'd be more concerned with the root cause, i.e. how did /etc/adjtime get corrupted in the first place.
Hi Joe, that was problem occasionally after some kernel updates that triggered avalanche of complains on shifting clock. I had that 2 times, and above procedure helped every time. If it doesn't help than we can go and figure out what was the root cause. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
