Re: How to run script (sleep360) without delaying bootup

Well shoot. Put a ping in for google. I don't think they would mind Now the script you sent this morning which I don't have in front of me I would think could do the job. Maybe you could ping then see if there a command to dealy the time servers and then let them run.

Nigel, what would you want to ping? I think you could put a line in that
script to do that.

Pinging a server on the Internet isn't really the problem, as long as nobody
get's T'd off on getting a ping on a daily basis. All I want is a script that
will continually send a ping to <some server>, then when the Internet
connection is up, and it gets a positive response from the server, will then
run /usr/local/bin/ntp-restart, and terminate the ping. This will then
restart the ntp daemon, and all of the servers listed in /etc/ntp.conf will
be polled.

At the moment when the ntp daemon is started at bootup on FC2, I get varying
results. Post bootup I connect to the Internet, and sometimes just one of the
six timeservers is listed when running ntpq> pe, and sometimes 4 of the
timeservers are listed, but never the 6. If I do an /etc/init.d/ntpd stop,
followed by an /etc/init.d start, then run ntpq, I see all 6 Internet
timeservers listed.

There is a problem with the ntp daemon, at least on FC2, when no Internet
connection is available at bootup.
