22267843Sdelphij.Nm
23267843Sdelphijwill validate the file currently on the local system
24267843Sdelphijand if necessary, updates leap\-second definition file.
25267843Sdelphij.Pp
26267843SdelphijOrdinarily, the file is found using the "leapfile" directive in
27267843Sdelphij.Xr ntp.conf 5 .
28267843SdelphijHowever, an alternate location can be specified on the command line.
29267843Sdelphij.Pp
30267843SdelphijIf the file does not exist, is not valid, has expired, or is expiring soon,
31267843Sdelphija new copy will be downloaded.  If the new copy validates, it is installed and
32267843SdelphijNTP is (optionally) restarted.
33267843Sdelphij.Pp
34267843SdelphijIf the current file is acceptable, no download or restart occurs.
35267843Sdelphij.Pp
36267843Sdelphij-c can also be used to invoke another script to perform administrative
37267843Sdelphijfunctions, e.g. to copy the file to other local systems.
38267843Sdelphij.PP
39267843SdelphijThis can be run as a cron job.  As the file is rarely updated, and leap
40267843Sdelphijseconds are announced at least one month in advance (usually longer), it
41267843Sdelphijneed not be run more frequently than about once every three weeks.
42267843Sdelphij.PP
43For cron\-friendly behavior, define CRONJOB=1 in the crontab.
