timed-process - Run background process for limited amount of time
SYNOPSIS
timed-process [-e exit_status] timeout command [<arg> [<arg> ...]]
DESCRIPTION
This script runs command for a specified amount of time and if it doesn't finish, it kills the process. If command runs and exits before
the given timeout, timed-process returns the exit value of command. If command did not exit before timeout seconds, then timed-process
will kill the process and returns an exit value of 255, unless the -e command line option is set, which instructs timed-process to return a
different exit value. This allows the user of timed-process to determine if the process ended normally or was killed.

timedc - timed control program
SYNOPSIS
timedc [ command [ argument ... ] ]
DESCRIPTION
Timedc is used to control the operation of the timed program. It may be used to:
o measure the differences between machines' clocks,
o find the location where the master time server is running,
o enable or disable tracing of messages received by timed, and
o perform various debugging actions.
Without any arguments, timedc will prompt for commands from the standard input. If arguments are supplied, timedc interprets the first
argument as a command and the remaining arguments as parameters to the command. The standard input may be redirected causing timedc to
read commands from a file. Commands may be abbreviated; recognized commands are:
? [ command ... ]
help [ command ... ]
Print a short description of each command specified in the argument list, or, if no arguments are given, a list of the recognized
commands.
clockdiff host ...
Compute the differences between the clock of the host machine and the clocks of the machines given as arguments.
trace { on | off }
Enable or disable the tracing of incoming messages to timed in the file /usr/adm/timed.log.
quit
Exit from timedc.
Other commands may be included for use in testing and debugging timed; the help command and the program source may be consulted for
details.
FILES
/usr/adm/timed.log tracing file for timed
/usr/adm/timed.masterlog log file for master timed
