Citrix Systems CITRIX NETSCALER 9.3 Viewing the System Date and Time, show ns config Example

Citrix NetScaler Administration Guide

6.If the /nsconfig directory does not contain a file named rc.netscaler, create the file.

7.Add the following entry to /nsconfig/rc.netscaler:

/usr/sbin/ntpd -c /nsconfig/ntp.conf -l /var/log/ntpd.log &

This entry starts the ntpd service, checks the ntp.conf file, and logs messages in the /var/log directory.

This process runs every time the NetScaler is restarted.

8.Reboot the NetScaler to enable clock synchronization.

Note:

If you want to start the time synchronization process without restarting the NetScaler, run the following command from the shell prompt:

/usr/sbin/ntpd -c /nsconfig/ntp.conf -l /var/log/ntpd.log &

Viewing the System Date and Time

To change the system date and time, you must use the shell interface to the underlying FreeBSD OS. However, to view the system date and time, you can use the NetScaler command line or the configuration utility.

To view the system date and time by using the NetScaler command line

At the NetScaler command prompt, type:

show ns config
