CLOCKRATE(HW) XENIX System V CLOCKRATE(HW)
Name
clockrate - Changes clock rate.
Syntax
/etc/clockrate frequency
Description
/etc/clockrate alters the interrupt timer clock frequency
(different from the CPU clock frequency) to bring the system
clock in sync with the computer's clock. This frequency is
expressed in Megahertz (megaHZ) and can be found in the
computer's hardware reference manual.
To set a new clockrate to 1.22878, for example, type:
# /etc/clockrate 1.22878
/etc/clockrate is a compiled ``C'' program, which modifies
the kernel found in /xenix.
/etc/clockrate only needs to be run once, unless you
reinstall the distribution floppies.
Files

Notes
Your computer may not be able to change the clockrate with
this utility.
