Our application runs on Ubuntu 12.04 precise. On this server, we have both ntpdate
and ntp
. How to enable and disable ntp
service on-demand?
I tried
sudo update-rc.d -f ntp remove/default
and
sudo update-rc.d ntp enable/disable
, but when I reboot the server the ntp
service starts running! I suspect ntpdate
to start the ntp
service on reboot. I removed the ntpdate
package from one of my experimental server- then ntp
didn't starts on reboot after issuing the command update-rc.d ntp disable
.
Is there a way to control this or is there way to permanently disable ntpdate
?
