NTP_WAIT(8)		  BSD System Manager's Manual		   NTP_WAIT(8)

NAME
     ntp-wait — Wait for ntpd to stabilize the system clock

SYNOPSIS
     ntp-wait [-flags] [-flag [value]] [--option-name[[=| ]value]]

	      All arguments must be options.

DESCRIPTION
     ntp-wait will send at most num-tries queries to ntpd(8), sleeping for
     secs-between-tries after each status return that says ntpd(8) has not yet
     produced a synchronized and stable system clock.

     ntp-wait will do this quietly, unless the -v flag is provided.  This can
     be useful at boot time, to delay the boot sequence until after ntpd -g
     has set the time.

OPTIONS
     -n number, --tries=number
		 Number of times to check ntpd.	 This option takes an integer
		 number as its argument.  The default number for this option
		 is:
		      100

			 The maximum number of times we will check ntpd to see
		 if
			 it has been able to synchronize and stabilize the
		 system clock.

     -s secs-between-tries, --sleep=secs-between-tries
		 How long to sleep between tries.  This option takes an inte‐
		 ger number as its argument.  The default secs-between-tries
		 for this option is:
		      6

			 We will sleep for secs-between-tries after each query
			 of ntpd that returns "the time is not yet stable".

     -v, --verbose
		 Be verbose.

			 By default, ntp-wait is silent.
			 With this option, ntp-wait will provide status infor‐
		 mation.

     -?, --help	 Display usage information and exit.

     -!, --more-help
		 Pass the extended usage information through a pager.

     -v [{v|c|n --version [{v|c|n}]}]
		 Output version of program and exit.  The default mode is `v',
		 a simple version.  The `c' mode will print copyright informa‐
		 tion and `n' will print the full copyright notice.

EXIT STATUS
     One of the following exit values will be returned:

     0	(EXIT_SUCCESS)
		   Successful program execution.

     1	(EXIT_FAILURE)
		   The operation failed or the command syntax was not valid.

     70	 (EX_SOFTWARE)
		   libopts had an internal operational error.  Please report
		   it to autogen-users@lists.sourceforge.net.  Thank you.
