Your server time must be wrong

within 15ms according to ntpsync

I got 16 after deleting a few crap ones which shouldn't have been on my list.

 

[Aaron Clifford]

I only managed gokarting.uk, as I went for the top names, tomorrow I'll be more realistic!

15ms is a life time in this game; if you are 15 microseconds out you are too slow. You need to fix the syncing issue.

any suggestions Ian ? Mine is about the same on NTP. I've tried resyncing etc

Whats yours then ?

 

[meslam123]

ntpstat shows

synchronised to NTP server (ip) at stratum 2

time correct to within 6 ms

polling server every 1024 s

but when checked at 13:50 BST was 10 ms

Anyway to stabilize it at lower ms ?

follow this article and replace servers with uk pool servers, maybe could improve it a little bit

https://www.digitalocean.com/commun...p-for-use-in-the-ntp-pool-project-on-centos-7

server 0.uk.pool.ntp.org
server 1.uk.pool.ntp.org
server 2.uk.pool.ntp.org
server 3.uk.pool.ntp.org

I remember Nominet mentioning Stratum-1 - anyone having a better results using Stratum-1 servers?

No that’s about the best your get

The epp creates arriving have to be buffered , they would need a thread for each

resync 15 seconds before 2pm - Vps / vm machines don’t keep good time by the way

How would you do that and make it sync quickly ? If you restart it immediatly goes to hundreds of ms out of sync ? Suspect its more for me about it being a vps / vm machine

I had that problem with a new vm running because it was running VMware which was trying to sync to an inaccurate hardware clock and overpowering ntp , I had to uninstall VMware / openvm as didn’t need it anyway, then I installed my own ntpd - now still a bit flaky compared to my other vms but ok if I sync at last minute as I say , basically VMs are all virtual tsc and even hw (?) clocks compared to a ded server , I’m on a 2ms hop so can just about work out how much to allow. But these drop catch guys have been all over this for years and have fine-tuned expertise to even handle this one off event with aplomb. Still it got my brain ticking for a week on something new.

Try:
service ntp stop
ntpdate -b 0.uk.pool.ntp.org
service ntp start

If you are not running your own ntpd daemon then you do not need the service commands - see below.

cheers. Not a command line head but i'd already researched and set ntp servers to 0.uk.pool through to 3.uk.pool so suspect its just a bad vps.

Why are you guys starting your script manually?

Set yourself a cron job up if you're on a Linux flavour (probs best to be...). Something like the following should do the trick. Of course change script.php to whatever the path is, likewise with log.txt.

59 13 * * * script.php > log.txt

If you want to mute the execution you can do:

59 13 * * * script.php >/dev/null 2>&1

Had cron working fine thanks. More about server being so out with NTP. Guess for sake of next two days it is was it is. Interesting in learning though.

So by using cron job, server will start at 14.00 BST without me having to start script manually?
