[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] ntp: added S48ntpdate script

[Oscar Gomez Fuente <oscargomezf@gmail.com>]

Hi Matthew,


Thank you very much for your help.

I was checking If the script is working fine:
----->
#! /bin/sh

NAME=ntpd

# Read config file if it is present.
if [ -r /etc/default/$NAME ]
then
        . /etc/default/$NAME
fi

case "$1" in
        start)
                printf "Starting $NAME: "
                CURRENT_DATE=$(date | grep "1970")
                if [ "$CURRENT_DATE" != "" ]; then
                        /usr/sbin/ntpd -q -x
                        [ $?  != 0 ] && echo -n "(No initial time set) - "
                fi
                start-stop-daemon -S -q -x /usr/sbin/ntpd -- -g
                [ $? = 0 ] && echo "OK" || echo "FAIL"
                ;;
        stop)
                printf "Stopping $NAME: "
                start-stop-daemon -K -q -n $NAME
                [ $? = 0 ] && echo "OK" || echo "FAIL"
                ;;
        restart|reload)
                echo "Restarting $NAME: "
                $0 stop
                sleep 1
                $0 start
                ;;
        *)
                echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|reload}" >&2
                exit 1
                ;;
esac

exit 0

But it seems to be that the command "/usr/sbin/ntpd -q -x" is not
working properly:

# date --set "1970-01-10 10:10:00"
Sat Jan 10 10:10:00 UTC 1970
# /etc/init.d/S49ntp restart
Restarting ntpd:
Stopping ntpd: OK

Notice that I checking the script forcing the date to 1970 with this
command. Does anyone any suggestion?


Best regards.
