Script to detect time drift on server

Hello there,

I am not an expert in networking related stuff but I got a requirement to create UNIX script to query our Company's internal time source via NTP for time drift detect and report it when > +/- 50ms.

I have been googling a lot but thought to post it in this forum to get a suggestion on the best way to do this.

Can we read in the ntp.drift file that is created on the server which script will run and use the value in the file to calculate the time drift?

Thanks in-advance for you suggestions.
