ntp-wait - Wait for ntpd to stabilize the system clock ntp-wait Mixture of short (flag) options and long options
[ -flag " [value]]... [" --opt-name "[[=| ]value]]..."

All arguments must be options.

will send at most Inum-tries R queries to .Xr ntpd 8 , sleeping for Isecs-between-tries R after each status return that says .Xr ntpd 8 has not yet produced a synchronized and stable system clock.

will do this quietly, unless the v flag is provided.

-n " num-tries, " -- "=" num-tries Number of times to check ntpd. This option takes an integer number as its argument. The default num-tries 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, " -- "=" secs-between-tries How long to sleep between tries. This option takes an integer 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 ", " -- Be verbose. By default, ntp-wait is silent. With this option, ntp-wait will provide status information.

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

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

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

Any option that is not marked as not presettable may be preset by loading values from environment variables named:

 NTP_WAIT_<option-name> or NTP_WAIT
