I'm running on Ubuntu 13.04 and I'm curious how the time-sync is working behind the curtain. The reason for asking is sometimes after powering up the BBB there is no network-connection available. Therefore it takes some stored/saved (?) time from somewhere<https://github.com/RobertCNelson/boot-scripts/blob/master/set_date.sh>. So my questions are:
1) Can I launch the ntp-update after the boot when the network is ready? i.e. don't execute before the network-connection is established. I guess I have to configure some init-scripts, but I guess at well they should already be there (from Ubuntu?). Since I don't wanna reinvent the wheel, I am curious about some hints. For the Angstrom-distro I have already a working config, but not for the Ubuntu. 2) Trying to track down the place from where the time/date is taken in case of network-failure I couldn't figure it out. The above mentioned place doesn't work, cause my date after launch is later then THAT /etc/timestamp. So, it must be taken from somewhere else. Any hints? a) The reason for asking is that I am curious if there is already a process running which writes the time on regular basis in that file. I didn't find anything in the crontab and guess I have to do it by myself. Anyway, as mentioned above - I don't wanna reinvent the wheel and ask in advance - just in case... leo -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
