Hi,
in LuCi system, we are not supposed to have a tab with ntp server? As we can see on the second pic
start by upgrading to a stable release.

I know but It seems to do the same job.
Since I've installed that, the tab for sync with ntp server is not there anymore
Why?
I installed package luci-app-ntpc git-20.108.38431-8f34e10 and it did not depopulate the default cgi-bin/luci/admin/system/system page.

I dont know what to say, btw, I try your rc.local scripts with ntpdate but I got that ;
ntpd -d -n -q -N -I 24.xx.xx.xx -p 149.56.37.32 -p 162.159.200.1
ntpd error: only one pidfile option allowed

Wrong.. 24.xx.xx.xx not the ip address.. Put your wan interface device name.
same output with eth0.2
what is the output of the following:

As noted above by @frollic, you should upgrade to the latest stable release (currently 22.03.3). it is possible that there are some bugs in your current snapshot.
If you're simply looking to make you OpenWrt device into a local time server, all you need to do is navigate to System > Time Synchronization > Provide NTP server. Then bind it either to "unspecified" (which should bind to all interfaces), or bind to your LAN.

thanks, I wanted to use the script here
ntpd -d -n -q -N -I eth0.2 -p 149.56.37.32 -p 162.159.200.1
but does not work , maybe about ntpdate, ntpd, busybox, dont know.
in system settind, did not have anymore ntp server in LuCi but still have it in uci
oot@OpenWrt:~# cat /etc/config/system
config system
option hostname 'OpenWrt'
option ttylogin '0'
option log_size '64'
option urandom_seed '0'
option log_proto 'udp'
option conloglevel '8'
option cronloglevel '5'
option zonename 'America/New York'
option timezone 'EST5EDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0'
config timeserver 'ntp'
list server '0.openwrt.pool.ntp.org'
list server '1.openwrt.pool.ntp.org'
list server '2.openwrt.pool.ntp.org'
list server '3.openwrt.pool.ntp.org'
At a high level (in words rather than script code), can you describe what you are trying to acheive? This way we can make sure we target the solution to your actual goals rather than simply getting a script to run (just in case the results or solutions might be different).

ok, I will try, with my so so english 
I have wireguard, sometimes I have problem with wireguard/sync/time, so I'm looking for a solution to delay wireguard and/or be sure the time is synch before wg. So @Bill gave me a rc.local script with ntpdate so I try it but when I try the script, it seems to not working properly.
as I said, thanks again

Ok... so I think you may be headed down a tangential path here...
I see that @bill is actually replying now, so I'll simply say that the idea is to not start WG until NTP succeeds... it should happen automatically under most circumstnaces unless the time sync features have been altered on OpenWrt (and as long as WG doesn't attempt to start first), and then WG should come up after that.
In your opkg list-installed
I do not see the Luci App install of luci-app-ntp
Do you recall the order in which you installed this in reference to collection of errors, and are you sure eth0.2 is your internet wan device on the Nighthawk?
