 NAME

   update - Gradually adjusts the clock on the local node to the
            specified time

 SYNOPSIS

   dtscp update time absolute-time

 ARGUMENTS

   time absolute-time
             Specifies the absolute time to which the clock is adjusted.
             This argument is required.

 DESCRIPTION

   The update command gradually adjusts the system clock to a new time,
   beginning at the time specified in the argument. The difference
   between the current clock value and the absolute time specified in
   the argument is used to adjust the clock.

   Privilege Required

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

 NOTES

   The update command is valid only for servers. The combined time and
   inaccuracy value you specify must be contained within the interval
   formed by the current time and inaccuracy. That is, the new setting
   must be more accurate than the current time.

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

 EXAMPLES

   The following example shows how to update the time for a server;
   the clock is gradually adjusted to the specified time:

        dtscp> update time 1993-12-30-11:24:00.000-05:00I0.000
