NTP worker_sleep: sem_timedwait: invalid argument
Posted: Mon Mar 20, 2023 12:35 pm
I installed x86 E9.2-1 on a Ubuntu KVM instance. TCP SHOW VERSION shows
I copied a ntp.conf file from an Alpha and started NTP. In SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$NTP]TCPIP$NTP_RUN.LOG I see the error "ntp.exe[2223]: worker_sleep: sem_timedwait: invalid argument" appear 31 times within the first minute of running.
I reduce ntp.conf down to the bare minimum so now I only have this.
The time logicals look correct for my time zone.
And exe$gq_tdf is correct.
I'm still getting the "ntp.exe[2223]: worker_sleep: sem_timedwait: invalid argument"
I turned ntp off for the weekend and restarted it Monday morning. At the time I restarted it the time was 20 minutes off, so I reset it to be 3 minutes behind current time, 1 hour later the time is still 3 minutes behind current time.
