Details

Since systemd 205, the ControlGroup option has been deprecated, but ntpd.service and ntpdate.service still contain "ControlGroup=cpu:/". As a result, each time those services are started, a warning is printed in the journal, e.g.

Jul 30 08:50:46 hermes systemd[1]: [/usr/lib/systemd/system/ntpd.service:9] Unknown lvalue 'ControlGroup' in section 'Service'

I assume this option was put in order to make ntpd run with real-time scheduling. I wonder whether it is still required to specify explicitly with newer kernels/systemd, and whether a similar effect can be achieved with CPUSchedulingPolicy= and CPUSchedulingPolicy=. But in any case, the ControlGroup option needs to be removed...

Thanks,
Leonid.

I note that systemd-204 is the version currently in [core] and it makes no mention of any upcoming deprecation of ControlGroup... Anyway, we should be ready for when systemd-206-without-bugs reaches [core].

Dave, you added the ControlGroup entry to ntpd.service and you obviously know more about systemd than me; what's your take on this?

I think I only added this because that's what Fedora was using. May as well just ditch it.

Sounds good.
