Package: coreutils
Version: 8.13-3.2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/timeout
I'm trying to set the time during boot. Unfortunately ntpd hangs forever
if the timeserver is unavailable. So I added a timeout to it so the
system still continues to boot without the correct time.
But I would like to log the error. Timeout is supposed to return 124 if the
time was exceeded. But if ntpd corrects the time by more than the timeout
then the return value is 124 despite the fact the real time passed was less.
Wouldn't it be possible to detect this case and return the exit code of
ntpd instead of a false timeout error?
