How to know the status of a ntp server ,given its ip address.?

Is there any way out to know whether the ntpd service is running and is up in the server ? ip address of server will be provided from the command line

The 'ntpq' program should do what you want.

DO
Code:
#ntpdate @IP
# echo $?
if the result =0 the ntp is OK


DIAGNOSTICS
ntpdate's exit status is zero if it found a server and could update the
clock, and nonzero otherwise.
