I think it would be good to understand if the sipx startup script will start whether or not ntp is running. I think he is simply vaguely referencing the fact that ntp is checked.
Is there a dependency on ntp or ntpd in sipx that would be causing it to update itself or update his system? I ask this fir him to clarify his question. In my experience I do see ntp gets "checked" upon startup. A clarification would be very helpful. ============================ Tony Graziano, Manager Telephone: 434.984.8430 Fax: 434.984.8431 Email: tgrazi...@myitdepartment.net LAN/Telephony/Security and Control Systems Helpdesk: Telephone: 434.984.8426 Fax: 434.984.8427 Helpdesk Contract Customers: http://www.myitdepartment.net/gethelp/ ----- Original Message ----- From: sipx-users-boun...@list.sipfoundry.org <sipx-users-boun...@list.sipfoundry.org> To: m...@grounded.net <m...@grounded.net>; sipx-users <sipx-users@list.sipfoundry.org> Sent: Fri Jul 16 15:19:24 2010 Subject: Re: [sipx-users] Random Dropped Registrations Any of a million things could be happening. (One thing to check: is ntpd.conf's modification date reasonable? If its date got mis-set *into the future*, some process might be trying to restart NTP over and over, because it always thinks ntp.conf was just changed.) But to find out "what is restarting ntpd", do this hack: while sleep 1 do echo date ps xawwf done >/tmp/really-big-file After an hour, go look in messages to find out exactly what second NTP was restarted, and check the output of the script to see what was running at that second. In really ugly cases, I've eliminated the sleep in that loop, but that generates output so fast you don't want to run it in the background, only for a couple of minutes around the restart point. Fortunately, the problem you see happens at predictable times.
