NAME
timedc - Controls the timed daemon
SYNOPSIS
timedc [command argument ... ]
The timedc, or timed control program, controls the operation of the timed(8) daemon.
DESCRIPTION
The timedc program can be used to perform the following tasks: Measure the differences between machines' clocks. Find the location of the
master time server. Enable or disable tracing of messages received by the timed daemon. Debug.
Without any arguments, timedc prompts for commands from the standard input. If arguments are supplied, timedc interprets the first argu-
ment as a command and the remaining arguments as arguments to the command. The standard input may be redirected, causing timedc to read
commands 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 file /var/adm/timed.log. Exits from
timedc. Reports the hostname of the master timed server in use.
