Hi,
> ntpq -gq -c /etc/ntp.boot
That's the way I did (see my previous post).
The problem is I have to support the case where I have no internet
connection.
So GPS is the only time source and it takes more than one minute for
'ntpq -gq -c /etc/ntp.boot' to complete.
That is too long for a service startup script.
Also Martin Burnicki (from Meinberg) recommanded to use the mbgsetsystime
utility which is much faster.
