Good Evening, I'm pulling a 1PPS signal into my system over a USB to Serial device's DCD pin; I don't have a typical RS232 port available. In order to fire up the PPS line discipline on startup and to create a relably named symlink to the created /dev/pps* (of which there are multiple generated by PTP also) I'm using a combination of UDEV rules and a [email protected] service file. In my chrony.conf I'm giving it an entry that looks for the PPS signal at the reliably named symlink (eg. /dev/my_pps). The problem I'm running into now is that this device isn't ready on startup before Chrony is started and therefore Chrony is choking, so my hope is that some of you all have run into a similar setup before and have recommendations on how to proceed? Is it possible for me to set a couple second delay in starting Chrony to give the device time to be available? Is there a way to make Chrony not die and rather keep retrying to connect while continuing to use other time sources in the interim? This would be ideal in case for some reason the device never became available, such as being accidentally unplugged.
