timedc(8)timedc(8)NAMEtimedc - Controls the timed daemon
SYNOPSIStimedc [command argument...]
DESCRIPTION
The timedc program (timed control program) controls the operation of
the timed daemon. The timedc program can be used to perform the follow‐
ing tasks: Measure the differences between machines' clocks. Find the
location of the master time server. Enable or disable tracing of mes‐
sages 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 speci‐
fied 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.
