NTP Client Details

[CHOUAIBOU]

Disable both NTP server and client in system config. Create a resident script with sleep time set to 5 seconds. You can replace region (europe) with 2-letter country code (de, fr, etc) for more precise time updates.

Code:

reg = 'europe'
cmd = '/usr/sbin/ntpd -ddd -l -n -p 0.%s.pool.ntp.org -p 1.%s.pool.ntp.org -p 2.%s.pool.ntp.org -p 3.%s.pool.ntp.org 2>&1'
cmd = string.format(cmd, reg, reg, reg, reg)
proc = io.popen(cmd)

while true do
  line = proc:read()
  if line then
    if line:find('responded to query from') then
      ip = line:match('%d+%.%d+%.%d+%.%d+')
      log('NTP query', ip)
    end
  else
    break
  end
end

proc:close()

Hi admin,
Many thanks!
I will test the script and give feedback

Hi admin,
The script is working fine. The LM is not actually connected to the internet.
I am using my Laptop NTP server.

Thanks!
