[ntp:questions] status information after ntpd -q

Hello, 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. I receive the server name and configuration (like if authentication is to be used, and the according keys) from the user of my program, so i need to be a

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 (ty

Re: [ntp:questions] status information after ntpd -q

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 ge
