enhance parsing dhcp supplied ntp-servers option

When I log into piCorePlayer (based on tcl) I'm greeted with

The system date (Thu Jan  1 01:16:30 CET 1970) appears to be incorrect.
The current ntp server is being set to 10.2.215.5 10.2.215.10, by kernel commandline or dhcp.

Execute the command: 'sudo ntpd -dd -n -q -p 10.2.215.5 10.2.215.10' to debug.

my dhcpd.conf reads

option ntp-servers 10.2.215.5, 10.2.215.10;

sudo ntpd -dd -n -q -p 10.2.215.5 -p 10.2.215.10

would work.

Where can I find the source code of the tcl scripts as git so that I can provide a merge request with an enhanced script?

Changing /usr/bin/getTime.sh to someting like this should do the trick

--- Code: ---#!/bin/busybox ash
# bmarkus - 26/02/2014
# miesi - 03/05/2024

if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/ntpserver ]; then
        set $(cat /etc/sysconfig/ntpserver)
        while [ "$1" != "" ]; do
                NTPOPTS="$NTPOPTS -p $1"
                shift
        done
else
        NTPOPTS=""
fi
/usr/sbin/ntpd -q $NTPOPTS

--- End code ---

I have no practical experience with busybox ash so this might not work

hi miesi,

Use https://forums.slimdevices.com/ for piCorePlayer support.

This forum is for piCore only.

Hi Greg Erskine
True, but the issue miesi reported and offered a fix for is
relevant to piCore and Tinycore too, not just piCorePlayer.

The ntp daemon can handle multiple time sources:

--- Code: ---tc@E310:~$ ntpd --help
BusyBox v1.29.3 (2018-12-19 15:29:37 UTC) multi-call binary.

 ----- Snip -----

        -p PEER Obtain time from PEER (may be repeated)

 ----- Snip -----
--- End code ---
The fix is designed to handle multiple entries separated by spaces
and preceding each entry with a  -p  switch.

The parsing code appears fine and worked correctly when tested.
