32 This document describes the use of the NTP Project's @code{ntp-wait} program.
34 If there are time-sensitive applications,
35 the proper sequence of events is to
36 run @code{ntpd -g} as early as possible,
37 then invoke all of the non-time-sensitive process,
38 run @code{ntp-wait} to block
39 until the system's time has stabilized and synchronized,
40 and only then start any applicaitons (like database servers) that require
41 accurate and stable time.
43 This document applies to version @value{VERSION} of @code{ntp-wait}.
