NAME

timedsetup − Performs initial setup of the time server daemon (timed). 

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/timedsetup

DESCRIPTION

The timedsetup command is an interactive script that can be used to perform initial time service configuration for your system. 

By default, timed does not start at boot time.  The timedsetup script asks if you want the timed daemon to be started at boot time, and prompts you for any options to pass to the timed daemon whenever it is invoked.  The script then starts the timed daemon. 

For more information on the timed options, see the timed(8) reference page. 

Note

The timed daemon is provided for compatibility.  Tru64 UNIX also provides support for the Network Time Protocol (NTP) through the xntpd daemon.  Compaq recommends you use NTP for time synchronization.  If your system is configured to run NTP, the timedsetup command passes the −E and −M options to the timed daemon by default. 

If you plan to run both the timed daemon and NTP, you should configure NTP first. 

RESTRICTIONS

In configurations with two or more hosts each connected to the same two or more subnetworks, only one of the host can run the timed with the −M option.
