sntp always reports error waiting on child [number]: No child processes
Last modified: 2016-08-18 15:53:03 UTC
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:46.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/46.0 Build Identifier: sntp 4.2.8p7 always displays "error waiting on child [number]: No child processes" when invoked with the -s or -S parameters. This behaviour is not seen in 4.2.8p4. The time is adjusted appropriately, making the error more of an annoyance than anything else. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. As root, execute sntp -s pool.ntp.org (or -S) 2. 3. Actual Results: error waiting on child [number]: No child processes is displayed before the normal output of the command, i.e. sntp 4.2.8p7@1.3265-o Thu May 12 16:14:59 UTC 2016 (1) error waiting on child 32071: No child processes 2016-05-24 08:58:00.535743 (-0700) -0.009292 +/- 0.054712 pool.ntp.org 204.2.134.164 s3 no-leap Expected Results: Error should not be displayed.
Yep, this error message is annoying, but it doesn't do any harm. I already reported it upstream and expect it to get fixed in the next release. http://bugs.ntp.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3050
