Re: [chrony-users] Getting chrony status

[Steve Horton <stevejhorton@xxxxxxxxx>]

Chronyc tracking -will show how "off" you are from the time of your servers UTC. I usually set my clocks in the bios to utc, or very close and chrony will use this as a starting point after boot.

Hi,
I need to start an application with stable and confirmed date&time, i.e..: after chrony has started, initialized and set the system clock to some presumably valid value.
Since I am using clock skewing if system time is in the future (need strictly monotonic time), internet connection may be missing at startup and several other mishaps, it may take a somewhat long time for chrony to stabilize (even several minutes).

How can I test (from shell script) if and when system time is (supposed to be) stable?
