NAME

update - Gradually adjusts the clock on the local node to the specified time

SYNOPSIS

dtscp update time absolute-time

ARGUMENTS

time absolute-time
Specifies the absolute time to which the clock is adjusted.  This argument is required.

DESCRIPTION

The update command gradually adjusts the system clock to a new time, beginning at the time specified in the argument.  The difference between the current clock value and the absolute time specified in the argument is used to adjust the clock. 

Privileges Required

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

NOTES

The update command is valid only for servers.  The combined time and inaccuracy value you specify must be contained within the interval formed by the current time and inaccuracy.  That is, the new setting must be more accurate than the current time. 

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

EXAMPLES

The following command updates the time for a server, with the clock being gradually adjusted to the specified time:

dtscp> update time 1993-12-30-11:24:00.000-05:00I0.000
