How to Get NTP Started



How to Get NTP Started

You have to restart the NTP process every time you make a change to the configuration file for the changes to take effect on the running process.

  • To get NTP configured to start at boot, use the line:

    [root@bigboy tmp]# chkconfig ntpd on
    

  • To start, stop, and restart NTP after booting, follow these examples:

    [root@bigboy tmp]# service ntpd start
    [root@bigboy tmp]# service ntpd stop
    [root@bigboy tmp]# service ntpd restart
