linux命令中service ntpd restart,Linux OS Service 'ntpd' [ID 551704.1]

Ordinarily, ntpd reads the ntp.conf configuration file at startup time in order to determine the synchronization sources and operating modes.  It is also possible to specify a working, although limited, configuration entirely on the command line, obviating the need for a configuration file.

Usually, the configuration file is installed in the /etc directory, but could be installed elsewhere (see the -c conffile command line option). The file format is similar to other Unix configuration files - comments begin with a # character and extend to the end of the line; blank lines are ignored.

The default ntp.conf file like this:

restrict default nomodify notrap noquery

restrict 127.0.0.1

server 0.pool.ntp.org

server 1.pool.ntp.org

server 2.pool.ntp.org

server  127.127.1.0     # local clock

fudge   127.127.1.0 stratum 10

driftfile /var/lib/ntp/drift

broadcastdelay  0.008

keys            /etc/ntp/keys

In addition, ntpd daemon can be run with various options. In order to add command line options to the ntpd service (/etc/init.d/ntpd), one has to edit /etc/sysconfig/ntpd file and add the desired option to the OPTIONS variable, and restart the service via 'service ntpd restart'.

For example, the -x argument is mandatory for RAC configurations and the /etc/sysconfig/ntpd file looks as:

# Drop root to id 'ntp:ntp' by default.

OPTIONS="-x -u ntp:ntp -p /var/run/ntpd.pid"

# Set to 'yes' to sync hw clock after successful ntpdate

SYNC_HWCLOCK=no

# Additional options for ntpdate

NTPDATE_OPTIONS=""

You can check the settings from that /etc/sysconfig/ntpd file but it will not be reliable if the ntpd process is started manually for some reason. To check the arguments you can use command line:

# ps -o args -p `cat /var/run/ntpd.pid`

COMMAND

ntpd -x -u ntp:ntp -p /var/run/ntpd.pid

#

Files:

/etc/ntp/ntp.conf  - the default name of the configuration file

/var/lib/ntp/drift  - the default name of the drift file

/etc/ntp/keys      - the default name of the key file

/etc/sysconfig/ntpd  - setting command line options for ntpd daemon
