timedc --
timed control program
Syntax
timedc [ command [ argument ... ] ]
Description
timedc controls 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.
