<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>systemd-timesyncd</filename> is a system service
|
|
that may be used to synchronize the local system clock with a
|
|
remote Network Time Protocol server. It also saves the local time
|
|
to disk every time the clock has been synchronized and uses this
|
|
to possibly advance the system realtime clock on subsequent
|
|
reboots to ensure it monotonically advances even if the system
|
|
lacks a battery-buffered RTC chip.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <filename>systemd-timesyncd</filename> service
|
|
specifically implements only SNTP. This minimalistic
|
|
service will set the system clock for large offsets or
|
|
slowly adjust it for smaller deltas. More complex use
|
|
cases are not covered by <filename>systemd-timesyncd</filename>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The NTP servers contacted are determined from the global
|
|
settings in
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>timesyncd.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
|
the per-link static settings in <filename>.network</filename>
|
|
files, and the per-link dynamic settings received over DHCP. See
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.network</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for more details.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><citerefentry><refentrytitle>timedatectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s
|
|
<command>set-ntp</command> command may be used to enable and
|
|
start, or disable and stop this service.</para>
