Re: Ntpdate fails to start

Dear All,

At booting, ntpdate fails to start, and also the following command fails:

# /sbin/service ntpdate start
ntpdate: Synchronizing with time server: [FAILED]

The log messages are:

Sep 7 12:50:50 localhost ntpdate[2908]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting

Any ideas?

service ntpd status

Should show you that the ntp daemon is already running.

You can't run both ntpd (the server) and ntpdate (the client) at the
same time.
