HELP.  Is there a proper way to stop the xntpd server and then start
it again later?

I have SunOS 4.1 on a Sparc.
I have the latest XNTP stuff from the LOUIE machine.
I built it all and set up a configuration file and had the
server running for more than 24 hours.  It was great.

Then I killed it by:   kill -9 pid

Now it will not run again.  It seems to start and I can do a PS and
see it but then it goes away real soon.  Here is a sample line:

root       871  0.0  4.9   80  332 ?  S <  18:49   0:00 xntpd -c /etc/ntp.conf

I tried rebooting my system but that did not help.
I run the  TICKADJ program.

I tried the NTPQ program and it works.

I also tried NTPDATE  and it gives a message:   Alarm clock

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
