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
