The command:
ntpq -c rv
returns a set of data, including the version of NTP in the format:
version="ntpd 4.2.6-o"
I would like to retrieve the same information (just the version field)
using a UDP interchange with the server rather than running the ntpq
command. Could anyone advise what the packet I send to the server should
contain, and what I might get back? Perhaps if you could point me to the
right Web page, please?
Thanks,
David
