 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      synchronize - Causes the DTS entity to synchronize the clock on the
      system where the command is entered.

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      dtscp synchronize [set clock boolean]


 ARGUMENTS    [Toc]    [Back]
      set clock boolean
                Specifies whether the clock is abruptly set or gradually
                adjusted to the computed time. This argument is optional.
                The following values are valid:


                false     The clock is gradually adjusted. This is the
                          default condition.

                true      The clock is abruptly set.


 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      The synchronize command causes the DTS clerk or server to solicit time
      intervals from servers, compute the intersection of the time
      intervals, and adjust the system clock to the midpoint of the computed
      time interval. This command overrides the functions of the
      synchronization hold down characteristic.

    Privilege Required    [Toc]    [Back]
      You must have write permission on the ACL associated with the DTS
      entity in order to execute the command.

 NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]
      The synchronize command does not execute if the entity is already
      synchronizing or is disabled; the entity must be in the on state.

      This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may
      not be provided in future releases of DCE.

 EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]
       1.  The following example shows how to initiate a synchronization for
           the entity, followed by a gradual clock adjustment:

           tscp> synchronize


       2.  The following example shows how to initiate a synchronization for
           the entity, followed by an abrupt reset of the clock:

           tscp> synchronize set clock true
