TIMEDC(8)TIMEDC(8)NAMEtimedc - timed control program
SYNOPSIS
/usr/etc/timedc [ command [ argument ... ] ]
DESCRIPTION
Note: timed is obsolete; ntpd(8) is recommended.
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.
