21 1.1.1.1.2.2 snj .Sh DESCRIPTION
22 1.1.1.1.2.2 snj .Nm
23 1.1.1.1.2.2 snj will validate the file currently on the local system
24 1.1.1.1.2.2 snj and if necessary, updates leap\-second definition file.
25 1.1.1.1.2.2 snj .Pp
26 1.1.1.1.2.2 snj Ordinarily, the file is found using the "leapfile" directive in
27 1.1.1.1.2.2 snj .Xr ntp.conf 5 .
28 1.1.1.1.2.2 snj However, an alternate location can be specified on the command line.
29 1.1.1.1.2.2 snj .Pp
30 1.1.1.1.2.2 snj If the file does not exist, is not valid, has expired, or is expiring soon,
31 1.1.1.1.2.2 snj a new copy will be downloaded. If the new copy validates, it is installed and
32 1.1.1.1.2.2 snj NTP is (optionally) restarted.
33 1.1.1.1.2.2 snj .Pp
34 1.1.1.1.2.2 snj If the current file is acceptable, no download or restart occurs.
35 1.1.1.1.2.2 snj .Pp
36 1.1.1.1.2.2 snj -c can also be used to invoke another script to perform administrative
37 1.1.1.1.2.2 snj functions, e.g. to copy the file to other local systems.
38 1.1.1.1.2.2 snj .PP
39 1.1.1.1.2.2 snj This can be run as a cron job. As the file is rarely updated, and leap
40 1.1.1.1.2.2 snj seconds are announced at least one month in advance (usually longer), it
41 1.1.1.1.2.2 snj need not be run more frequently than about once every three weeks.
42 1.1.1.1.2.2 snj .PP
43 1.1.1.1.2.2 snj For cron\-friendly behavior, define CRONJOB=1 in the crontab.
