Name
       rdate - network date client

Syntax
       /etc/rdate [ -s ] [ -v ] [ network ]

Description
       The  command  is invoked at boot time to reset the system date and time
       to the current network date and time.  The program  sends  a  broadcast
       datagram	 packet on the specified network or on the system default net‐
       work if no network is specified.	 The program will then wait  two  sec‐
       onds  for  responses.   After  that  time, the arithmetic median of the
       responses is taken.

Options
       -s The system date and time will be set to the median value.

       -v The time values returned by all responding hosts will be reported.

Restrictions
       In order for to determine a network time, at least one of  the  running
       hosts  on  the  network	must  be  running  the	internet time service.
       Machines with their own battery-backed-up  time-of-day  clock  may  not
       desire to set time in this manner.
