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
