36.SH DESCRIPTION

38will validate the file currently on the local system
39and if necessary, updates leap-second definition file.

43Ordinarily, the file is found using the "leapfile" directive in
44\fCntp.conf\f[]\fR(5)\f[].
45However, an alternate location can be specified on the command line.
46.sp \n(Ppu

49If the file does not exist, is not valid, has expired, or is expiring soon,
50a new copy will be downloaded.  If the new copy validates, it is installed and
51NTP is (optionally) restarted.
52.sp \n(Ppu
53.ne 2
54
55If the current file is acceptable, no download or restart occurs.

59-c can also be used to invoke another script to perform administrative
60functions, e.g. to copy the file to other local systems.
61.PP
62This can be run as a cron job.  As the file is rarely updated, and leap
63seconds are announced at least one month in advance (usually longer), it
64need not be run more frequently than about once every three weeks.
65.PP
66For cron-friendly behavior, define CRONJOB=1 in the crontab.
