6 NTP Software Installation and Configuration
6.7.6 Start NTP
Execute NTP from the command line by typing the path and name of
the ntp executable:
/usr/local/bin/ntpd
Installation of NTP is complete. You still need to modify startup
scripts to ensure NTP is loaded when the system reboots.
To verify the correct operation of NTP and the Acutime NTP
reference clock, follow the instructions in the next section,
Monitoring NTP. To diagnose possible problems communicating
with the Acutime, see Appendix E, NTP Diagnostics and Debugging.
6.8 Monitoring NTP
This section briefly describes the tools and operating system facilities
used when monitoring NTP for correct operation. For more
information of the capabilities of these tools, please refer to your
Operating System and NTP documentation.
NTP provides a network accessible management interface that allows
the NTP utilities included in the distribution to communicate with
different servers. The NTP utilities are virtually identical on both
UNIX and Windows platforms.
NTP query is a utility to quickly check the status of NTP servers or
clients. The use of the NTP Query utility,
NTPQ.EXE, is outlined on
page 6-35.
NTP start-up and synchronization events are written into the
Operating System Log files. The same messages are generated for
UNIX and Windows NT, although the log interface is different for the
two system classes.
