synchronize(1m) synchronize(1m)
NAME
synchronize - Causes the DTS entity to synchronize the clock on the system where the command is entered.
SYNOPSIS
dtscp synchronize [set clock boolean]
ARGUMENTS
Specifies whether the clock is abruptly set or gradually adjusted to the computed time. This argument is optional. The following values
are valid: The clock is gradually adjusted. This is the default condition. The clock is abruptly set.
DESCRIPTION
The synchronize command causes the DTS clerk or server to solicit time intervals from servers, compute the intersection of the time inter-
vals, and adjust the system clock to the midpoint of the computed time interval. This command overrides the functions of the synchroniza-
tion hold down characteristic.
Privilege Required
You must have write permission on the ACL associated with the DTS entity in order to execute the command.
NOTES
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
The following example shows how to initiate a synchronization for the entity, followed by a gradual clock adjustment: dtscp> synchronize
The following example shows how to initiate a synchronization for the entity, followed by an abrupt reset of the clock: dtscp> synchronize
set clock true
