vesta cp was uninstalled a long time ago (it’s update server was hacked, after that it seems the vestacp developers did not want to invest in it anymore, very sad, was a great webserver and mail control panel)
ntp things have changed a bit in Debian 11 (search)
ntp is not installed per default anymore

next problem: now i get mails like:
should i set $? = 0 manually? faking a positive result? NOPE! NEVER! STAY SINCERE!

the investigation 😀
ntpdate -s
-s Divert logging output from the standard output (default) to the system syslog facility. This is designed primarily for convenience of cron scripts.
-> so you will not see any error.
if you leave out -s you get:

“ntpdate service having a problem doesn’t really mean there’s a problem with ntpd, ntpdate is a standalone utility,
(you don’t even need the ntp package installed to use ntpdate) you could try a query and then see if that works:”
