Dear Ajay,

I’m having the exactly same issue as you: it only syncs during the start up. The process stays alive forever but syncs only once.

Did you ever find a solution?

Hi,
I have followed the above procedure and i was able to synchronize my HP-UX PC to NTP server. But, after it was once synchronized, i have to give the start command again to synchronize the PC.
Can you advice me that what is the procedure to keep the PC continously synchronized to NTP server without giving repeated xntpd start commands.

Hi Vivek

Thanks for posting this article for hp-ux I was searching this type of configuration steps but could u tell me which version of HP-UX NTP configuration steps you have posted as I have HP-UX version 11.31 and I ‘m not able to see it’s daemon file in /sbin/init.d/ contrary it is available in /sbin as /sbin/xntpd.

Thanks

if I specify my NTPDATE_SERVER=’10.20.5.1 10.20.5.2 10.20.5.3′ in the netconfig

in the /etc/ntp.conf for servers do I specify the above IP addresses also?
server 10.20.5.1
server 10.20.5.2
server 10.20.5.3
etc …

sorry I’m quite new to ntp

Invalid NTP server address. Something is wrong with your configuration. Check out log files and make sure all updates are applied to HP-UX.

What does it mean if the NTPDATE_SERVER=”0.0.0.0″ ?
