 NAME
   synchronize - Causes the DTS entity to synchronize the clock on
                 the system where the command is entered.

 SYNOPSIS

   dtscp synchronize [set clock boolean]

 ARGUMENTS

   set clock boolean
             Specifies whether the clock is abruptly set or gradually
             adjusted to the computed time. This argument is optional.
             The following values are valid:

             false     The clock is gradually adjusted. This is the
                       default condition.

             true      The clock is abruptly set.

 DESCRIPTION
   The synchronize command causes the DTS clerk or server to solicit
   time intervals from servers, compute the intersection of the time
   intervals, and adjust the system clock to the midpoint of the
   computed time interval. This command overrides the functions of the
   synchronization hold down characteristic.

   Privilege Required

   You must have write permission on the ACL associated with the DTS
   entity in order to execute the command.

 NOTES

   The synchronize command does not execute if the entity is already
   synchronizing or is disabled; the entity must be in the on state.

   This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and
   may not be provided in future releases of DCE.

 EXAMPLES

    1.  The following example shows how to initiate a synchronization
        for the entity, followed by a gradual clock adjustment:

             dtscp> synchronize

    2.  The following example shows how to initiate a synchronization
        for the entity, followed by an abrupt reset of the clock:

             dtscp> synchronize set clock true
