RE: {bb} server-time-ntp / bb-ntp.sh

["Kelley, Scott" <Scott.Kelley@disney.com>]

Craig -

  I made two minor changes and I think it is working for me now.

1) I suspect my big problem was Sun's sed command.  Is your default sed
by chance gnu sed ?  Around line 210 I changed this line -

	echo "$VALUE" | $SED 's/^[[:space:]]*//'

to this equivalent

	echo "$VALUE" | sed 's/^[ \t\v\f]*//'

This fixed the 'losing the first character problem' and made the script
all happy. It is returning green and "Clock is synchronized".


2) On a minor note, around line 162 I commented out this line

	MACHINE=`hostname | $SED 's/\./,/g'`

This seems like a kludge for the comma delimited FQDN, but it breaks the
usage of a bbaliasname.



Thoughts ?

Yes, I first tried using it with the SUNWntpr and SUNWntpu packages on
Sun Solaris "5.8 Generic_108528-20".  I also tried downloading and
building the latest version of ntp from
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/ntp_spool/ntp4/ntp-4.2.0.tar.gz.

Both report "Clock synchronization lost" or "Time server problem" and
the status is "clear".

I do notice that in the section of the output where it reports the
server/refid it is losing a chacater on the front of a server name,
which may be indicative of some data validation problem.


You are the author, yes ?  Can I send you the output with the -xv flags
set in the script ?

bb-ntp-1_4.sh.gz works fine for me on any version of Solaris, including
8 ;)

Do you have SUNWntpr and SUNWntpu installed?

If so, have you configured /etc/inet/ntp.conf correctly?

I have experienced problems with one box around 5 years ago, it
continued to throw errors and loose time.  It was an issue with the
hardware though, not the BB script.

If you want server-time-ntp to work, someone else will need to help you.
