Description Chris Slycord 2004-12-10 22:46:09 UTC
When I boot up ntpd is started and everything seems fine.  When I shutdown and the init script is read for stopping ntpd error messages are given.

I am running net-misc/ntp-4.2.0.20040617

tux ~ # /etc/init.d/ntpd start
 * Starting ntpd ...                                                      [ ok ]

So everything is fine starting.

tux ~ # /etc/init.d/ntpd stop
 * Stopping ntpd ...
start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 10762: No such process
1 pids were not killed
No process in pidfile `/var/run/ntpd.pid' found running; none killed.
 * Failed to stop ntpd

And there's the problem.

make sure the process didnt kill itself ...

`ps axu | grep ntp` after boot
