This mode is only supported on Linux.
*-x*::
This option disables the control of the system clock. *chronyd* will not make
any adjustments of the clock, but it will still track its offset and frequency
relative to the estimated true time, and be able to operate as an NTP server.
This allows *chronyd* to run without the capability to adjust or set the system
clock (e.g. in some containers).
This option disables the control of the system clock. *chronyd* will not try to
make any adjustments of the clock. It will assume the clock is free running and
still track its offset and frequency relative to the estimated true time. This
option allows *chronyd* to run without the capability to adjust or set the
system clock (e.g. in some containers) in order to operate as an NTP server. It
is not recommended to run *chronyd* (with or without *-x*) when another process
is controlling the system clock.
*-v*::
With this option *chronyd* will print version number to the terminal and exit.
