[Linuxptp-users] Status file of achieved time synchronization

[Koehrer M. (ETAS/ESW5) <mat...@et...>]

Hi all,

I want to synchronize a couple of PCs using linuxptp.
One of these PCs acts as a master the others are slaves.
Is there a way to check the currently achieved synchronization offset on the slaves?
Checking the syslog file is not really helpful as I want to do a scriptable check.

On each of the PCs an application has to run.
Starting this application on the slaves is only allowed if the time-synchronization is stable (=the clock offset is below a certain limit and the drift is low).
With "ptpd2" there is a status file /var/run/ptpd2.status" that will be re-written every second.
Is anything like that available with linuxptp as well?

Thanks for any feedback on this!

Regards

Mathias
