Service ntp on <a href="http://ns6.aelabad.net" target="_blank">ns6.aelabad.net</a> is OK (up)<br>

Command: ntpdate -u -q -p 2 10.1.9.51 2>&1<br>
<br>
!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WARNING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br>
<br>
The ntpdate program is deprecated and should not be used any more. To<br>
quote the upstream ntp developers:<br>
<br>
"The functionality ntpdate offered is now provided by the ntpd daemon<br>
itself. If you call ntpd with the command line option -q it will<br>
retrieve the current time and set it accordingly."<br>
<br>
Please check the Network Time Protocol (NTP) daemon man page and<br>
<a href="http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Dev/DeprecatingNtpdate" target="_blank">http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Dev/DeprecatingNtpdate</a><br>
for further information.<br>
<br>
You can replace the ntpdate call with "rcntp ntptimeset" to achieve an<br>
inital poll of the servers specified in /etc/ntp.conf.<br>
<br>
The program /usr/sbin/sntp offers comparable functionality to ntpdate.<br>
Specifically<br>
sntp -P no -r <a href="http://pool.ntp.org" target="_blank">pool.ntp.org</a><br>
is equivalent to<br>
ntpdate <a href="http://pool.ntp.org" target="_blank">pool.ntp.org</a><br>
<br>
For further details please refer to the man page of sntp.<br>
sntp: unable to write PID to /etc/sntp.pid<br>
sntp: Permission denied<br>
