[ntp:questions] Re: ntpd in inittab

If you have database servers (or anything that requires monotonic time once
it has started) then the first time you start ntpd you want -g, and you DO
NOT want to use -g on any subsequent restart.

If something "bad" happens, your inittab solution will "loop" trying to
restart ntpd.

Either way, you need to monitor the situation and "get help" if there is a
problem.
