This file documents the use of ntp-wait, a program from the NTP Project, that is used to wait until ntpd has been able to synchronize and stabilize the time on the current host.

This document describes the use of the NTP Project's ntp-wait program.

If there are time-sensitive applications, the proper sequence of events is to run ntpd -g as early as possible, then invoke all of the non-time-sensitive process, run ntp-wait to block until the system's time has stabilized and synchronized, and only then start any applicaitons (like database servers) that require accurate and stable time.

This document applies to version VERSION of ntp-wait.
