# to be run in quick succession. In fact, it happens rather often
# if initial syncronization results in a step.
# You will see "step" and then "stratum" script runs, sometimes
# as close as only 0.002 seconds apart.
#
# Script should be ready to deal with this.

# For other parts of the system which prefer to run only on the stable clock
