VMS Help DCE_DTS  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

   DCE Distributed Time Service (DTS) synchronizes the clocks in a
   networked system.  It provides the following facilities:

     +  The dtsd daemon

     +  The DTS control program (dtscp)

     +  The DTS local clock setting program (dtsdate)

   The DTS is implemented in the dtsd process. Both clerks and servers use
   the same daemon. The behavior of the dtsd daemon is determined by the
   dtscp command.

   Invocation of dtsd leaves it in an idle state. In order for it to assume
   an identity, it must be "created" with the dtscp create command.

   After the DTS entity is created, it is still in a non-functioning state.
   To put it into operation, you must invoke dtscp enable, which causes an
   immediate synchronization to take place. For more information, see the
   enable reference page in this chapter.

   To bring down a DTS entity, you must first stop it with dtscp disable and
   then delete it with dtscp delete. For more information, see the disable
   and delete reference pages in this chapter.

   The dtsdate command sets the local clock of a system to be the same as the
   host remote_host, running a dtsd server.  For more information see the
   dtsdate reference page in this chapter.
