Overview
The ntp-ctl management client allows management of some aspects of the ntpd-rs daemon. Currently the management client only allows displaying the current status of the daemon and validating a configuration file for usage with the daemon.
Options
-
-c path, --config=path -
Path to the configuration file from which the observation socket address will be retrieved. If not specified this defaults to /etc/ntpd-rs/ntp.toml.
-
-f format, --format=format -
The output format for the status command. If not specified this defaults to plain. Alternatively the format prometheus is available to display the output in an OpenMetrics/Prometheus compatible format.
-
-h, --help -
Display usage instructions.
-
-v, --version -
Display version information.
Commands
- validate
-
Checks if the configuration specified (or /etc/ntpd-rs/ntp.toml by default) is valid.
- status
-
Returns status information about the current state of the ntp-daemon that the client connects to.
- force-sync
-
Interactively run a single synchronization of your clock. This command can be used to do a one-off synchronization to the time sources configured in your configuration file. This command should never be used without any validation by a human operator.
