From f8b2067e09b244d9216d524da6d4d569705accb0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jow Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2011 00:21:53 +0000 Subject: [package] base-files: remove rdate integration, add busybox ntpd init script and server list in /etc/config/system The rdate applet proved to be too unreliable to obtain the current time on boot: - public time servers are rare and often unreachable or overloaded - rdate does not daemonize, it needs a network connection the moment it is started, leading to race conditions - the /etc/config/timeserver configuration is overly complex and there is no reliable way to disable rdate invocations - the time protocol as specified in RFC 868 is considered obsolete This commit adds an init script /etc/init.d/sysntpd which starts and stops the busybox ntpd accordingly. The builtin ntpd can be disabled by either disabling the init script, removing the symlink to busybox or by clearing the timeserver list in /etc/config/system. git-svn-id: svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk@28612 3c298f89-4303-0410-b956-a3cf2f4a3e73 --- package/base-files/files/etc/init.d/sysntpd | 35 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 35 insertions(+) create mode 100755 package/base-files/files/etc/init.d/sysntpd (limited to 'package/base-files/files/etc/init.d/sysntpd') diff --git a/package/base-files/files/etc/init.d/sysntpd b/package/base-files/files/etc/init.d/sysntpd new file mode 100755 index 0000000000..fefb48fb19 --- /dev/null +++ b/package/base-files/files/etc/init.d/sysntpd @@ -0,0 +1,35 @@ +#!/bin/sh /etc/rc.common +# Copyright (C) 2011 OpenWrt.org + +START=98 + +BIN=/usr/sbin/ntpd +PID=/var/run/sysntpd.pid + +start() { + [ -x $BIN ] || exit 0 + + local peers + + getpeers() { + config_get peers "$1" server + } + + config_load system + config_foreach getpeers timeserver + + if [ -n "$peers" ]; then + local peer + local args="-n" + for peer in $peers; do + append args "-p $peer" + done + + start-stop-daemon -x $BIN -m -p $PID -b -S -- $args + fi +} + +stop() { + service_kill ${BIN##*/} $PID + rm -f $PID +} -- cgit v1.2.3
