This script doesn't work with the default configuration of chrony.conf and chrony.keys; they set the keyword 'generatecommandkey' which writes the key in MD5 format (other Googling shows SHA is also possible):
1 MD5 HEX:AABBCCDDEEFF
This is documented here:
http://chrony.tuxfamily.org/manual.html#commandkey-directive
The issue is the sed line for PASSWORD doesn't strip out the method, so tries to pass "MD5 HEX:..." over to chronyc. Here's a sed that works for both what's in the wiki ('1 xyzzy') and the autogenerated keys ('1 MD5 HEX:...'):
-PASSWORD=`grep ^$COMMANDKEY $KEYFILE | sed 's/[^ ]* //' -`
+PASSWORD=`grep ^$COMMANDKEY $KEYFILE | sed 's/.*[^ ] //' -`
That will extract the other direction - find the last space and grab what follows it, rather than finding the first space etc. It also looks like we could just avoid this altogether and use "chronyc -a" to automatically do the needful.

Arch’s GitLab instance is currently broken(?), so I can’t edit configuration, but merge requests against the package are(/will be) welcome at https://gitlab.archlinux.org/freso/networkmanager-dispatcher-chrony when I’m able to configure repository settings again (default settings aren’t allowing me to upload the existing history).
