NAME
    ntpa - NTP Analyzer daemon program

SYNOPSIS
    ntpa --config file [--temp path] [--writepid file] [--daemon name]

DESCRIPTION
    The ntpa daemon is the core process in the NTP Analyzer system.
    ntpa(1) is responsible for collecting data from NTP daemons. Data are
    collected using ntpq(8) and ntpctl(8).  The ntpa daemon also generates
    graphs and web pages and perform other tasks like sending status mails.

    The graphs and HTML files generated by ntpa are placed in the ntpa www
    directory and can be presented by any web server. Additional JavaScript
    and CSS files are also located in the ntpa www directory.

    Pages can be made responsive by configuring them with Bootstrap and
    jQuery.  This way they are viewable on mobile devices and not only on
    traditional PC screens.

    --config file
