Manual page for TIMEDC(8)
timedc - 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is obsolete;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.
