   20 .SH NAME

   22 \- Wait for ntpd to stabilize the system clock
   23 .SH SYNOPSIS
   24 \f\*[B-Font]ntp-wait\fP
   25 .\" Mixture of short (flag) options and long options
   26 [\f\*[B-Font]\-flags\f[]]
   27 [\f\*[B-Font]\-flag\f[] [\f\*[I-Font]value\f[]]]

   36 .SH DESCRIPTION
   37 \f\*[B-Font]ntp-wait\fP
   38 will send at most
   39 \f\*[I-Font]num-tries\f[]
   40 queries to
   41 \fCntpd\f[]\fR(8)\f[],
   42 sleeping for
   43 \f\*[I-Font]secs-between-tries\f[]
   44 after each status return that says
   45 \fCntpd\f[]\fR(8)\f[]
   46 has not yet produced a synchronized and stable system clock.
   47 .sp \n(Ppu
   48 .ne 2

   50 \f\*[B-Font]ntp-wait\fP
   51 will do this quietly, unless the
   52 \f\*[B-Font]\-v\f[]
   53 flag is provided.
   54 This can be useful at boot time, to delay the boot sequence until after
   55 \f\*[I-Font]ntpd\f[] \f\*[I-Font]\-g\f[]
   56 has set the time.
   57 .SH "OPTIONS"
   58 .TP
   59 .NOP \f\*[B-Font]\-n\f[] \f\*[I-Font]number\f[], \f\*[B-Font]\-\-tries\f[]=\f\*[I-Font]number\f[]
   60 Number of times to check ntpd.
   61 This option takes an integer number as its argument.
   62 The default
   63 \f\*[I-Font]number\f[]
   64 for this option is:
   65 .ti +4
   66  100
   67 .sp
   68         The maximum number of times we will check \fBntpd\fP to see if
   69         it has been able to synchronize and stabilize the system clock.
   70 .TP
   71 .NOP \f\*[B-Font]\-s\f[] \f\*[I-Font]secs\-between\-tries\f[], \f\*[B-Font]\-\-sleep\f[]=\f\*[I-Font]secs\-between\-tries\f[]
   72 How long to sleep between tries.
   73 This option takes an integer number as its argument.
   74 The default
   75 \f\*[I-Font]secs\-between\-tries\f[]
   76 for this option is:
   77 .ti +4
   78  6
   79 .sp
   80         We will sleep for \fIsecs-between-tries\fP after each query
   81         of \fBntpd\fP that returns "the time is not yet stable".
   82 .TP
   83 .NOP \f\*[B-Font]\-v\f[], \f\*[B-Font]\-\-verbose\f[]
   84 Be verbose.
   85 .sp
   86         By default, \fBntp-wait\fP is silent.
   87         With this option, \fBntp-wait\fP will provide status information.
   88 .TP
   89 .NOP \f\*[B-Font]\-\&?\f[], \f\*[B-Font]\-\-help\f[]
   90 Display usage information and exit.
   91 .TP

   93 Pass the extended usage information through a pager.

   96 Output version of program and exit.  The default mode is `v', a simple
   97 version.  The `c' mode will print copyright information and `n' will
   98 print the full copyright notice.
