Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Xt timer call, XtAppAddTimeout, hangs on system clock jump backwards Post 303020516 by Don Cragun on Saturday 21st of July 2018 08:32:19 PM

I repeat my question. Why isn't ntpd running on this client all of the time? Why is any application using NTP when it runs instead of the system running ntpd to keep its clock in sync all of the time?

AIX 5.3 12 Hour System Clock

Hello Everyone, I have a Domino application running on AIX 5.3 that does time conversions worldwide. It uses the operating system time as a reference for the conversion. My problem is that I need the AIX OS clock to be a 12 hour clock (AM/PM) rather than a 24 hour clock. I have tried the date... (2 Replies)

Hi, Is there a chance that the clock() call returns 0 eternally??? Using BSD. My RTOS application freezes inconsistently only on particular hosts.

SCO Openserver 6.0.0 had an issue with a NIC losing it's config on reboot. Netconfig would not allow "view protocol" and apparently zeroed out the existing IP info. Repaired from console.

The UNIX clock/timer interrupt

The book The Design of the Unix Operating System speaks of a clock or timer that is used in scheduling. The clock generates interrupts that update priority information for processes and preempt processes in a round-robin fashion. It's apparent that this "clock" is not the same thing as the CPU...

NAME
tickadj - set time-related kernel variables SYNOPSIS
tickadj [ -Aqs ] [ -a tickadj ] [ -t tick ] DESCRIPTION
The tickadj program reads, and optionally modifies, several timekeeping-related variables in the running kernel in some machines, via /dev/kmem . The particular variables it is concerned with are tick , which is the number of microseconds added to the system time during a clock interrupt, tickadj , which sets the slew rate and resolution used by the adjtime system call, and dosynctodr , which indicates to the kernels on some machines whether they should internally adjust the system clock to keep it in line with time-of-day clock or not. By default, with no arguments, tickadj reads the variables of interest in the kernel and displays them. At the same time, it determines an "optimal" value for the value of the tickadj variable if the intent is to run the ntpd Network Time Protocol (NTP) daemon, and prints this as well. Since the operation of tickadj when reading the kernel mimics the operation of similar parts of the ntpd program fairly closely, this can be useful when debugging problems with ntpd . Note that tickadj should be run with some caution when being used for the first time on different types of machines. The operations which tickadj tries to perform are not guaranteed to work on all Unix machines and may in rare cases cause the kernel to crash. COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
-a tickadj Set the kernel variable tickadj to the value tickadj specified. -A Set the kernel variable tickadj to an internally computed "optimal" value. -t tick Set the kernel variable tick to the value tick specified. -s Set the kernel variable dosynctodr to zero, which disables the hardware time-of-year clock, a prerequisite for running the ntpd daemon under SunOS4. -q Normally, tickadj is quite verbose about what it is doing. The -q flag tells it to shut up about everything except errors. FILES
/vmunix /unix /dev/kmem BUGS
Fiddling with kernel variables at run time as a part of ordinary operations is a hideous practice which is only necessary to make up for deficiencies in the implementation of adjtime in many kernels and/or brokenness of the system clock in some vendors' kernels. It would be much better if the kernels were fixed and the tickadj program went away. SEE ALSO
