I want to write a script that does the following:
/sbin/ntpsomecommand
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
# sys time is apparently synchronized; so use it to set the
# non-volatile clock
/sbin/hwclock --systohc
else
# sys time is NOT synchronized (maybe the network is down), so
# use the non-volatile clock to set the sys time
/sbin/hwclock --hctosys
fi
Is there a command I can run that returns an explicit value based on
whether my system time is being sync'd to Internet NTP services?
Thanks,
Dave
