Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ntpdate
ntpdate script (located in /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate) doesn't load
configuration from file (located in /etc/default/ntpdate).
1) OS: Ubuntu 11.04 (natty)
2) Package version: 1:4.2.6.p2+dfsg-1ubuntu4 and previous versions
3) Load configuration file
4) Configuration file isn't loaded
Solution:
Add these lines to script (/etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate):
if [ -r /etc/default/ntpdate ]; then
. /etc/default/ntpdate
OPTS=${OPTS} ${NTPOPTIONS} ${NTPSERVERS}
fi
Complete script:
#!/bin/sh
set -e
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
# This is a heuristic: The idea is that if a static interface is brought
# up, that is a major event, and we can put in some extra effort to fix
# the system time. Feel free to change this, especially if you regularly
# bring up new network interfaces.
if [ $METHOD = static ]; then
OPTS=-b
fi
if [ $METHOD = loopback ]; then
exit 0
fi
# Check whether ntpdate was removed but not purged; it's useless to wait for
# it in that case.
if [ ! -x /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian ] [ -d /usr/sbin ]; then
exit 0
fi
if [ -r /etc/default/ntpdate ]; then
. /etc/default/ntpdate
OPTS=${OPTS} ${NTPOPTIONS} ${NTPSERVERS}
fi
(
# This is for the case that /usr will be mounted later.
if [ -r /lib/udev/hotplug.functions ]; then
. /lib/udev/hotplug.functions
wait_for_file /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian
fi
LOCKFILE=/var/lock/ntpdate-ifup
# Avoid running more than one at a time
if [ -x /usr/bin/lockfile-create ]; then
lockfile-create $LOCKFILE
lockfile-touch $LOCKFILE
LOCKTOUCHPID=$!
fi
invoke-rc.d --quiet ntp stop /dev/null 21 || true
/usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian -s $OPTS 2/dev/null || :
invoke-rc.d --quiet ntp start /dev/null 21 || true
if [ -x /usr/bin/lockfile-create ] ; then
kill $LOCKTOUCHPID
lockfile-remove $LOCKFILE
fi
)
