NTPCTL(8) BSD System Manager's Manual NTPCTL(8)NAMEntpctl — control the Network Time Protocol daemon
SYNOPSISntpctl [-s all | peers | Sensors | status]
DESCRIPTION
The ntpctl program displays information about the running ntpd(8) daemon.
The options (which may be abbreviated) are as follows:
-s all Show all data.
-s peers Show the following information about each peer: weight,
trustlevel, stratum, number of seconds until the next poll,
polling interval in seconds, and offset, network delay and
network jitter in milliseconds. When the system clock is
synced to a peer, an asterisk is displayed to the left of
the weight column for that peer.
-s Sensors Show the following information about each sensor: weight,
sensor "good" status, stratum, and offset and the config‐
ured correction in milliseconds. When the system clock is
synced to a sensor, an asterisk is displayed to the left of
the weight column for that sensor.
-s status Show the status of peers and sensors, and whether the sys‐
tem clock is synced. When the system clock is synced, the
stratum is displayed. When the system clock is not synced,
the offset of the system clock, as reported by the
adjtime(2) system call, is displayed.
