[Emc-users] ntp status exit 1 when updateing, what is that telling me?
Greetings all; emc, on 10.04 LTS. I just was greeted by an update request when I turned on the monitor, so 2 sessions later it has done all the recommended up dates including an as yet un-executed emc, and its rebooting now. Logged in via ssh -Y still doesn't work, but emc signed on as EMC2 - 2.4.6-76-gf8ea663, not revalent to this that I know of. But for several months, despite the fact that ntpd is running just fine, any update done finishes with the updater showing that ntp exited with a status 1. This is regardless of whether anything to do with ntp was updated or not. Does anyone know what that is all about?

Of course, I am no expert, so it may be a setup problem. But, I can imagine that the time correction used by NTP could cause real problems to a real time program, so RTAI may defeat the adjustments.

I can appreciate that, but when emc nor rtai are not running? It is ATM, and I just did an ./ntp restart to see if any errors came out, there were none, and the date on that box is to the second synced with this box. So I don't /think/ that is the problem. ntp these days may do a crash set call to ntpdate at bootup on most systems, but IIRC it now uses a similar call to what 'adjtimex' does, which diddles the count per second, which if the mobo crystal is on spec, 1/sec. I have had mobo's that I had to set it for 9998 in order to get it within reach of ntp keeping it there. But ntpd itself is now using a wider ranging method albeit it is still tuning the oscillator by only 1% maybe. Its control hasn't had discrete time jumps in 2 or 3 years now. I think the point is that when the updater runs, it apparently must be doing something that I, as root, cannot trigger in normal use, so I am inclined to point fingers at the updater, not ntpd. > Jon > > > -- Got Input?
