chrony is a pair of programs which are used to maintain the accuracy of the
|
|
system clock on a computer; the two programs are called chronyd and chronyc.
|
|
|
|
chronyd is a daemon which runs in background on the system. It obtains
|
|
measurements via the network of the system clock's offset relative to time
|
|
servers on other systems and adjusts the system time accordingly. For
|
|
isolated systems, the user can periodically enter the correct time by hand
|
|
(using chronyc). In either case, chronyd determines the rate at which the
|
|
computer gains or loses time, and compensates for this. chronyd implements
|
|
the NTP protocol and can act as either a client or a server.
|
|
|
|
chronyc provides a user interface to chronyd for monitoring its performance
|
|
and configuring various settings. It can do so while running on the same
|
|
computer as the chronyd instance it is controlling or a different computer.
