NAME

synchronize - Causes the DTS entity to synchronize the clock

SYNOPSIS

dtscp synchronize [set clock {true | false}]

ARGUMENTS

set clock {true | false}
Specifies whether the clock is abruptly set (true) or gradually adjusted to the computed time (false, the default).  This argument is optional. 

DESCRIPTION

The synchronize command causes the Distributed Time Service (DTS) clerk or server to solicit time intervals from servers, compute the intersection of the time intervals, and adjust the system clock to the midpoint of the computed time interval.  This command overrides the functions of the synchronization hold down characteristic. 

Privileges Required

You must have w (write) permission on the access control list (ACL) associated with the DTS entity in order to execute the command. 

NOTES

The synchronize command does not execute if the entity is already synchronizing or is disabled; the entity must be in the on state. 

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

EXAMPLES

     1.The following command initiates a synchronization for the entity, followed by a gradual clock adjustment:

dtscp> synchronize

     2.The following command initiates a synchronization for the entity, followed by an abrupt reset of the clock:

dtscp> synchronize set clock true
