32275970ScyThis document describes the use of the NTP Project's @code{ntp-wait} program.
33275970Scy
34275970ScyIf there are time-sensitive applications,
35275970Scythe proper sequence of events is to
36275970Scyrun @code{ntpd -g} as early as possible,
37275970Scythen invoke all of the non-time-sensitive process,
38275970Scyrun @code{ntp-wait} to block
39275970Scyuntil the system's time has stabilized and synchronized,
40275970Scyand only then start any applicaitons (like database servers) that require
41275970Scyaccurate and stable time.
42275970Scy
43275970ScyThis document applies to version @value{VERSION} of @code{ntp-wait}.
