/etc/rc.network script has a line:

  ${ntpdate_program:-ntpdate} ${ntpdate_flags} >/dev/null 2>&1

With output here being sent to null, how can I notice that my favorite
ntp server  went down, has changed its service policy, its IP etc?
Maybe just

  ${ntpdate_program:-ntpdate} ${ntpdate_flags}

could be a better option?
