Hi.
Can QNX 4 synchronize to an ntp time server?
How is this done?
TIA

Probably .

Take a look on /usr/free – there should be a port ntp client/server
for this.
Essentially, you talk ntp protocol to the server, then you use
qnx_adj_time() to (gently) synchronise the QNX clock.

Yes, with a contributed program
How is this done?
Find xntp*.tgz on the Contributed Software area on qdn.quics.com ( youll
find it on http://quics.qnx.com/cgi-bin/search/usr/free/?srch=ntp&select=1)
Unpack it, you really only need the program ‘ntpdate’, (I often put it in
/usr/local/bin and makes shure I have that in the path). Run it providing a
ntp-server as parameter: “ntpdate ntp.domain.com”
You can do it regulary (example is hourly) from a crontab like this
0 * * * * /usr/local/bin/ntpdate webserver.systek.no
(Check docs for cron and crontab if you are unfamiliar with cron)
