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.
