Thanks for all your work with NetTime.

It is possible to update this Sourceforge project?

Graham: Mark is not "admin", can you change it?
You are the only person who can do it.

The latest version here is 3.14
- https://sourceforge.net/projects/nettime/files/

No latest versions specified here (binaries and source codes):
- http://www.timesynctool.com/ (no HTTPS)

I think that this tab can be removed:
- https://sourceforge.net/p/nettime/code/

Mark can update with missing versions:
- https://nettime.sourceforge.net (HTTPS)
- https://sourceforge.net/projects/nettime/files/

Thanks in advance.

Failure at Startup when server not ready and Kiss of Death

Mark Griffiths — Wed, 30 Oct 2024 05:48:23 -0000

Hi Ken,

Not retrying the server for 15 minutes after receiving a Kiss of Death from it is expected behavior. Under the NTP protocol standard, a Kiss of Death packet is a way for the server to tell clients to go away and use a different server if possible, so if the client has to retry, it should wait a while before doing so.

You could perhaps set the NetTime service to run as a "Delayed start" to give the router a bit more time to start up.

Let me know how you go with this suggestion.

I think this is clear but I wanted to clarify that the router has the NTP server on it, and the local PC behind it is not going out to the internet.

We are using a router (OpenWrt) that is powered on at the same time as our PC. The PC is incidentally a little faster to boot than the router and it fails at least on the first attempt. At least one time I saw the message in the log "Kiss of Death" from our router.

Even though I have the "retry" setting to 1 minute it was waiting to retry in 15 minutes. Is this normal behavior? I would prefer if it were to retry in 1 minute, especially if time has not yet been synchronized.

BTW, this is so much better than trying to configure NTP service on windows!

Thanks!
Ken

Nettime giving error while clicking update now( When no internet connection)

OK, can you try enabling debug level logging in NetTime and then do a sync on your IOT device both with and without the Internet being connected and then send the resulting log file to me.

Actually , I have created IOT device which take time from local system in which nettime software is running. But when there is no internet, device is not getting system time.

Just to clarify, it seems that you're configuring NetTime to sync to itself?

Why are you wanting to do that? I can't think of any useful reason for wanting to do this.

HI
I have installed nettime software in my local system. now I want to sync time with my local system. I have added localhost as hostname. It is working fine when i connect with internet. But when there is no internet connection, then it is giving error Could not update after clicking on update now button. And also it is showing nettime icon with red cross mark.

Is there a way when there is no internet connection, i can get time from nettime??
Thanks

How can I use this command (/updateonce) or (/tryonce)

Mich Hackwood — Wed, 20 Apr 2022 08:50:32 -0000

With advice from Mark I got this working by having Nettime closed and set to run in stand alone mode, then using the following command:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\NetTime\Nettime.exe" /updateonce
In the log I can see the update command was successful:
20/04/2022 09:45:01 Single Sync Successful.
20/04/2022 09:45:02 NetTime Closing

Nettime reports clock sync lost if cpu load is at 100%
