|
|
This document describes the use of the NTP Project's @code{ntp-wait} program.
|
|
|
|
If there are time-sensitive applications,
|
|
the proper sequence of events is to
|
|
run @code{ntpd -g} as early as possible,
|
|
then invoke all of the non-time-sensitive process,
|
|
run @code{ntp-wait} to block
|
|
until the system's time has stabilized and synchronized,
|
|
and only then start any applicaitons (like database servers) that require
|
|
accurate and stable time.
|
|
|
|
This document applies to version @value{VERSION} of @code{ntp-wait}.
