ntpq: Print NTP system variables values.

ntpq

$ ntpq --command=${rv}

try on your machine

The command "ntpq --command=${rv}" is a specific command for the ntpq utility tool in Linux or Unix-like operating systems.

ntpq is a command-line tool used for monitoring and troubleshooting the NTP (Network Time Protocol) server or client. It allows you to query and control the behavior of the NTP server.

In this particular command, the "--command=${rv}" part is an option that tells ntpq to execute a specific command as specified by the variable "rv". The variable "rv" might contain a command that you want to run within ntpq.

For example, if "rv" contains "peers", the command "ntpq --command=peers" will show a list of the NTP peers (other servers or clients) that this server is connected to.

The purpose behind using the "--command=${rv}" syntax is to make the command more versatile, allowing the user to input different commands dynamically based on the value stored in the "rv" variable.
