It is a little puzzling what you are doing here. NTP is a daemon, and should remain running once started, unless there is a problem. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Bret Hughes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunday, 18 November 2001 21:55 > To: redhat-list > Subject: ntp status > > > Is there anyway to determine whether or not a redhat7.1 box is synced to > a timeserver via ntp?

It will tell you where ntpd is synced to, and the offset in seconds, which should be much smaller than 1.00000. Typically, at least on my Redhat 6.2 system (I'll upgrade one of these days), ntp is also configured to log messages to /var/log/messages.
