60 Number of times to check ntpd.
61 This option takes an integer number as its argument.
63 \f\*[I-Font]number\f[]
68 The maximum number of times we will check \fBntpd\fP to see if
69 it has been able to synchronize and stabilize the system clock.

72 How long to sleep between tries.
73 This option takes an integer number as its argument.
75 \f\*[I-Font]secs\-between\-tries\f[]
80 We will sleep for \fIsecs-between-tries\fP after each query
81 of \fBntpd\fP that returns "the time is not yet stable".
