ntpd not running












2
















  • Have confirmed correct server is configured in /etc/ntp.conf

  • It can ping that server.


  • It definitely has the ntp package



    /home/admin# dpkg -s ntp
    Package: ntp
    Status: install ok installed




  • But the daemon is not running



    /home/admin# ps wax | grep ntp
    21959 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep ntp




  • Status check



    /home/admin# ntpstat
    Unable to talk to NTP daemon. Is it running?




  • I get this when I try to restart it



    /home/admin# systemctl start ntpd
    Failed to start ntpd.service: Unit ntpd.service failed to load: No such file or directory.




What should try next?

  • You should reinstall ntp and check the dependencies etc., then check if there's a systemd unit present.

To check the status of ntp you should use:



systemctl status ntp


By modifying the /etc/ntp.conf you should restart the service through:



systemctl restart ntp


The ntpstat report Unable to talk to NTP daemon. Is it running? , you can simply start the ntp service through:



systemctl start ntp


To start the service at boot time:



systemctl enable ntp
