Hi,

This command is used to watch the offset of the NTP servers that have been configured. It is so that you can see when NTPD is trying to update the time. There is no real impact to the host as its more a way to debug NTP..

Check this out for more information : VMware KB: Troubleshooting NTP on ESX and ESXi 4.x / 5.x

Hope this helps.
