vsntp Installation and Running Procedure
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Compilation and Installation Procedure
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
vsntp uses standard GNU autoconf to compile and install:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Download, unzip and untar the vsntp package:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
% tar xzf vsntp-x.x.x.tar.gz
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Go into its directory:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
% cd vsntp-x.x.x
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Configure with ./configure:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
% ./configure
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Compile with make:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
% make
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The resulted executable will be named "vsntp".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. You need to be root in order to install vsntp:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
% su
|
||
|
|
Password:
|
||
|
|
#
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
6. You can simply copy vsntp to the appropriate directory:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# cp vsntp /usr/local/sbin
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Or, you can run automatic install:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# make install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can reduce the size of the installed executable by
|
||
|
|
stripping off debug symbols inside:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# make install-strip
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By default vsntp will be installed in /usr/local/sbin .
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Compilation and Installation Options
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GNU autoconf configure provides the following options:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
|
||
|
|
[/usr/local]
|
||
|
|
--exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
|
||
|
|
[PREFIX]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--bindir=DIR user executables [EPREFIX/bin]
|
||
|
|
--sbindir=DIR system admin executables [EPREFIX/sbin]
|
||
|
|
--libexecdir=DIR program executables [EPREFIX/libexec]
|
||
|
|
--datadir=DIR read-only architecture-independent data [PREFIX/share]
|
||
|
|
--sysconfdir=DIR read-only single-machine data [PREFIX/etc]
|
||
|
|
--sharedstatedir=DIR modifiable architecture-independent data [PREFIX/com]
|
||
|
|
--localstatedir=DIR modifiable single-machine data [PREFIX/var]
|
||
|
|
--libdir=DIR object code libraries [EPREFIX/lib]
|
||
|
|
--includedir=DIR C header files [PREFIX/include]
|
||
|
|
--oldincludedir=DIR C header files for non-gcc [/usr/include]
|
||
|
|
--infodir=DIR info documentation [PREFIX/info]
|
||
|
|
--mandir=DIR man documentation [PREFIX/man]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Type `./configure --help' for a detailed list of compilation options.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Run
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You need to be root to run vsntp. vsntp uses settimeofday() to
|
||
|
|
set the system time. settimeofday() requires root privilege.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To start vsntp, just specify your NTP server:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# vsntp my.ntp.server.com
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
vsntp writes its PID in /var/run/vsntp.pid. To stop vsntp,
|
||
|
|
kill it by its PID:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# kill `cat /var/run/vsntp.pid`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The PID file location can be changed with the `-p' switch.
