>Release:        FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE i386
>Organization:
secnetix GmbH & Co. KG

>Environment:
FreeBSD 6-stable + 7-current

>Description:

The script below adds an optional status report for NTP
to the daily periodic output.  It exits with return code 0
if the local ntpd is successfully synchronized.  It exits
with return code 1 if the local ntpd is currently not
synchronized, or if ntpd isn't running at all, or if it's
refusing connections from localhost.

>How-To-Repeat:

Save the script below as /etc/periodic/daily/480.status-ntp
and add this line to /etc/periodic.conf:
daily_status_ntp_enable="YES"

Suggested default entry for /etc/defaults/periodic.conf:
# 480.status-ntp
daily_status_ntp_enable="NO"			# Check NTP status

>Fix:

#!/bin/sh
#
# $FreeBSD$
#

# If there is a global system configuration file, suck it in.
#
if [ -r /etc/defaults/periodic.conf ]
then
    . /etc/defaults/periodic.conf
    source_periodic_confs
fi

rc=0

case "$daily_status_ntp_enable" in
    [Yy][Ee][Ss])
	echo ""
	echo "NTP status:"

	synchronized=$(ntpq -p | tee /dev/stderr | grep '^\*')
	if [ -z "$synchronized" ]; then
		rc=1
	fi
	;;
esac

exit $rc
