Hello Chuck,
thanks for your answers already.
I've experimented some more, and have extra remarks:
4. when i try to enable stats with the following config, ntp does not generate
the stats:
content of the ntp.conf:
statsdir /var/log/ntpstats/
filegen clockstats file clockstats type pid enable
on the above remark 4 i forgot to mention the line statistics clockstats in
the ntp.conf file

Clockstats do work, but you should have a clock (refclock).

i would like to use the command ntpd -q to synchronize with a server once,
but i need some feedback from the command about the status.
ntpd was designed and is intended to run all of the time as a daemon,
but you can do what you've asked for by setting explicit logging path like:
# ntpd -q

additionally on remark 6:
next to the status word 8024 there is the event message code 84 in my
protostats.
I do not find an explanation in http://doc.ntp.org/4.2.6p2/decode.html about
the event message code 84.

6. since the logfile of the ntpd command does not give info on the status of
the command, i'm trying to use the stats to get my info:
in the protostats i do not understand what the status word means:
i have a status word 8024 next to the message reachable.
(it is not clear from the docs
7. when you specify wrong configuration, the ntpd -q process hangs.
How do i specify a timeout?
sudo ntpd -q -c /etc/ntp.conf -l /tmp/ntp_logfile.txt -n
and in my config file i have added a keyId (key 1) next to my server : the
keyId is a none-existing reference, and there is no valid reference
hello Karel,
thanks, but i do not understand your remark:
on my device i have an rtc. do you mean i have to make a link in the config to
/dev/rtc?
(and what about a refclock on a pc?)

Just to ask, why are you using ntpd -q instead of sntp (from ntp-dev)?

Clockstats do work for a server stratum-1. In this case you should have a
refclock, for example GPS.

Hello Karel,
you can disreguard my question regarding reference clocks.
As stated in my first post , i need a ntpd command to be able to synchronize to
a server with immediate response on the status of the command, so a hardware
peace like a reference clock is definitely not part of my client
because ntpdate (which i use now) is depricated and has no possibility to pass
a key for authentication (if applicable, configurable by the user) , and should
be replaced by ntpd, and therefore i ended up at ntpd.
I don't know sntp and don't know if is serves my needs to synchronise once and
the docs (http://doc.ntp.org/4.2.6p2/sntp.html)
mention exit status, but i do not see a link towards a list of exit codes.
If i use sntp, where can i find the following info:
server unreachable
server timeout
authentication failed
wrong key/keysfile
sntp is known on my PC (Ubuntu), but when i install the ntp-dev package on my
device (ntp-dev_4.2.6p3-r1.6_armv5te.ipk), it seems not to contain the sntp
command.

nevermind, it seems to be part of the ntp-utils, not of the ntp-dev.

does sntp force the time of the system clock automatically when run as root,
or do you need to add an optional parameter to do so?

the reason why i ask this, is because if i execute the sntp command several
times, the offset remains around -621 :

You need the descriptions for the exact ntpd release for your
platform.
eg. NetBSD-6 i386, ntp-dev-4.2.7p410
By default sntp displays the
regarding the options of the sntp:
-t Num timeoutSpecify the number of seconds to wait for broadcasts
Can this also be used as a timeout if no response is coming when using unicast?
(in the docs http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/sntp.html there is a
uctimeout specified, but that
When using sntp, is there a status word available somewhere from which i can
translate what the exact error is?
I have f.e. the following output on the terminal:
...is not authentic. Will discard it.
and Received no useable packet from ...
However, i prefer polling a status word (like in

A refclock is an external source of direct UTC

That's not the ntp-dev branch. ntp-dev numbers have an odd minor
number. 4.2.6 is an even number/stable

You want sntp from ntp-dev (4.2.7), not from 4.2.6.
