Bug Description
Right now there is a strong tendency to rely on NTP for determining if services are up or down, especially compute nodes. This has been problematic since it is very fragile in its implementation (aka when NTP gets slightly out of sync on any compute node then that compute node will no longer be useable). It seems simpler to let the database decide what is "time" using its own internal functions like NOW() and such and not worry about time being in sync on the other nodes...
