Auto start of ntpd for router without WAN

[srinivasvaradaraj]

I have a quick question. I have an N66U that is hooked up in a router mode but is acting as an AP only. The router has the modem connected to the LAN port and DHCP is off on the router itself. The only issue I have is that the router doesn't sync time automatically on startup. I have to manually go to administration > system > apply for it to restart time. The following message is then recorded in the logs and time syncs correctly. I was wondering if there was a way to kick start this at startup on stock firmware.

notify_rc : restart_time

Thanks.

The original firmware doesn't offer a user interface to manually restart services. You could however run ntpclient yourself to set your device's clock.

ntpclient -h pool.ntp.org -s

Also, the original firmware lacks any official way to run your own commands at boot time.

Indeed, that's what I thought, I was wondering if the rc_ scripts detection was based on WAN IP being present or WAN port having a true link or if its just the presence of default route. Just curious.
