Hi, I am trying to synchronize the time between two boxes. I'm playing with ntp*.
* If you know of any digital X-based clock program that displays in deci-seconds (or finer) resolution, I would very much like to know. * The problem below had me totally off-track for literally the last few weeks, to my (right this moment) great frustration: gkrellmd has a sycnhronization/ wraparound display problem with the clock. This is what happens: every so many, eg. 15, seconds, the clock pauses for a second. Then it some time (eg. 15 seconds) later it skips forward two seconds instead of one. I've tried setting the update frequency on the gkrellm client and server to be the same, and tried both low (3Hz) and high (20Hz) frequencies. They all display essentially the same problem. Here's an obvious solution that would be satisfactory, within the tolerance of (most people's) human vision: * have an option to display tenths-of-a-second (ie. an extra order of precision - deci-seconds or whatever they're called), and perhaps also have a recommendation in the README for gkrellmd that for reasonably accurate time keeping, use "deci-seconds + 10Hz update frequency" (assuming of course that this actually works :). If there is any hope of getting such a feature added, I will send you a triple-smiley and lots of appreciation. If there is a hope, or a better GUI way to monitor my servers, please let me know. tia zen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
