NTP Server
Makes it possible to manipulate (Start & Stop) or check on the status on the NTP server used for time synchronization.
Note
This controls the exact same ntp service as items 3–6 under
Time Settings (Network Settings > Time) — the two menus are two
different paths to the same start/stop/restart actions, not separate services. NTP
peers and the timezone are only configurable from Time Settings.
A restart is normally only needed after changing the NTP server list, or if the service has stopped responding — stopping it does not affect the Web GUI or REST API, only future clock synchronization (the clock itself keeps running, it just stops being corrected).
