Both Chrony and NTP at the same time?

[JGrana]

I have been looking at what seems to be a long time for ntp_ready to go true. Seemed fine a few months ago ago.
In doing some looking around, I noticed that both /opt/etc/ntp and /opt/bin/timerserverd/chronyd.conf are running. At the same time.
I do use the Yaz/@Martinski ntpMerlin addon and have selected chronyd as the application to run.
For some reason both are running at the same time. I’m surprised.

Is this normal? Do I have some kind of configuration incorrect?

That's very strange and completely unexpected because when using the CLI menu to toggle the time server selection between ntpd and chronyd, the code quite explicitly stops and then removes the Entware service script for the 'unselected' choice before replacing it with the newly selected time server, so I don't see how it's possible to have the 2 separate processes running at the same time unless some other script is installing and then restarting the Entware service script for the now-unselected time server.

To gather some initial diagnostics info, please download the following shell script onto the router:

curl  -LSs --retry 3 --retry-delay 5 --retry-connrefused \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Martinski4GitHub/CustomMiscUtils/develop/Diags/DEBUG_ntpMerlin_INFO.sh \
-o "$HOME/DEBUG_ntpMerlin_INFO.sh" && chmod 755 "$HOME/DEBUG_ntpMerlin_INFO.sh"

Once it's downloaded, execute the script and post the output file that gets generated:

$HOME/DEBUG_ntpMerlin_INFO.sh
