Sco 5.0.7: How do you check to see if NTP is installed?

[flynbrian99]

Hello All,

How do you check to see if NTP is installed on Sco 5.0.7?


Thanks!

it should be installed by default on the enterprise system (ie not host).
ps -ef | grep ntpd will show you if the daemon is running.
ntpdate can be used as a manual update.

man ntpd will give you the command line switches.

On my Sco 5 box, its xntpd. You can use ntpdate <server> to update it via a cron job and avoid having the daemon running all the time.
