However, +systemd-timesyncd allows time-sync.target to be reached before +timesyncd has actually synchronized the time. This is because it +sends READY=1 as soon as the daemon has initialized, rather that +waiting until it has successfully synchronized to an NTP server. + +It would be trivial to patch timesyncd to wait, but that would +introduce some other problems. + +So, I'm introducing systemd-timesyncd-wait. It is a service that +listens for messages from systemd-timesyncd, and block until it sees a +message indicating that systemd-timesyncd has synchronized the time. + +### Requirements + + go > 1.4 + make + + +### Installation + +Clone the repo and execute: + + make && make install |
