TIMEDC

NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

Timedc is used to control the operation of the timed program. It may be used to:

*

measure the differences between machines' clocks,

*

find the location where the master time server is running,

*

enable or disable tracing of messages received by timed, and

*

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.
