NAME

7       timedc - timed control program
8

SYNOPSIS

10       timedc [ command [ argument ... ] ]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Timedc  is  used to control the operation of the timed program.  It may
14       be used to:
15
16       ·      measure the differences between machines' clocks,
17
18       ·      find the location where the master time server is running,
19
20       ·      enable or disable tracing of messages received by timed, and
21
22       ·      perform various debugging actions.
23
24       Without any arguments, timedc will prompt for commands from  the  stan‐
25       dard  input.   If  arguments  are supplied, timedc interprets the first
26       argument as a command and the remaining arguments as parameters to  the
27       command.   The  standard input may be redirected causing timedc to read
28       commands from a file.  Commands may be abbreviated; recognized commands
29       are:
30
31       ? [ command ... ]
32
33       help [ command ... ]
34              Print a short description of each command specified in the argu‐
35              ment list, or, if no arguments are given, a list of  the  recog‐
36              nized commands.
37
38       clockdiff host ...
39              Compute  the  differences  between the clock of the host machine
40              and the clocks of the machines given as arguments.
41
42       trace { on | off }
43              Enable or disable the tracing of incoming messages to  timed  in
44              the file /usr/adm/timed.log.
45
46       quit
47              Exit from timedc.
48
49       Other  commands may be included for use in testing and debugging timed;
50       the help command and the program source may be consulted for details.
