timedc - Controls the timed daemon
timedc [command argument...]
The timedc program (timed control program) controls the
operation of the timed daemon. The timedc program can be
used to perform the following tasks: Measure the differences
between machines' clocks. Find the location of the
master time server. Enable or disable tracing of messages
received by the timed daemon. Debug.
Without any operands, timedc prompts for commands from the
standard input. If operands are supplied, timedc interprets
the first operand as a command and the remaining
operands as arguments to that command. The standard input
may be redirected, causing timedc to read operands from a
file.
The timedc commands can be abbreviated. The following is
a list of recognized commands: Prints a short description
of each command specified in the argument list, or, if no
arguments are given, prints a list of the recognized commands.
Computes the differences between the clock of the host
machine and the clocks of the machines given as arguments.
This command is only valid for machines whose clocks are
within 12 hours of the host machine clock. Machines whose
clocks are more than 12 hours different from the host
machine clock will report incorrect time differences.
Enables or disables the tracing of incoming messages to
timed in the /var/adm/timed.log file. Exits from timedc.
Reports the hostname of the master timed server that is in
use.
