It's not possible to replay old SHM data at a different time. Have a look at the SHM structure. There are receiveTimeStamp fields, which tell at what time the sample was captured (system time) and clockTimeStamp fields which tell what time the reference clock had at the time of the capture. The difference is the offset. If you want to replay an offset, you need to put in the SHM segment the current system time and the same time adjusted for the offset, so their difference is the offset as it was before. But this completely ignores the process that is controlling the clock, so I'm not sure what value this exercise has. -- Miroslav Lichvar _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
