NTPCTL(8)              DragonFly System Manager's Manual             NTPCTL(8)

NAME
     ntpctl - control the Network Time Protocol daemon

SYNOPSIS
     ntpctl [-s all | peers | Sensors | status]

DESCRIPTION
     The ntpctl program displays information about the running ntpd(8) daemon.

     The options (which may be abbreviated) are as follows:

     -s all        Show all data.

     -s peers      Show the following information about each peer: weight,
                   trustlevel, stratum, number of seconds until the next poll,
                   polling interval in seconds, and offset, network delay and
                   network jitter in milliseconds.  When the system clock is
                   synced to a peer, an asterisk is displayed to the left of
                   the weight column for that peer.

     -s Sensors    Show the following information about each sensor: weight,
                   sensor "good" status, stratum, and offset and the
                   configured correction in milliseconds.  When the system
                   clock is synced to a sensor, an asterisk is displayed to
                   the left of the weight column for that sensor.

     -s status     Show the status of peers and sensors, and whether the
                   system clock is synced.  When the system clock is synced,
                   the stratum is displayed.  When the system clock is not
                   synced, the offset of the system clock, as reported by the
                   adjtime(2) system call, is displayed.

FILES
     /var/run/ntpd.sock     Socket file for communication with ntpd(8).
