timedc(1M)                                                       timedc(1M)

NAME
     timedc - control program for the timed daemon

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sbin/timedc [statement [argument ...]]

DESCRIPTION
     The timedc command enables you to monitor and control the functions of
     the timed daemon. The timedc command allows you to

     -  measure the differences between the system clocks in your local
        network

     -  locate the host on which the master time server is running

     -  activate or deactivate logging of messages received by the timed
        daemon on your host

     -  analyze and correct synchronization faults between the system
        clocks of the hosts in your local network

     This command can only be called under the system administrator login
     name.

OPTIONS
     no argument
          If you call the timedc command without specifying any parameters,
          timedc requests you to enter information relating to standard
          input.

     with arguments
          If timedc is called and parameters are specified, timedc inter-
          prets the first call parameter as the statement and all the fol-
          lowing parameters as arguments of the statement. Standard input
          can be redirected, timedc then reads statements from a file. The
          statements for timedc can be abbreviated. The following state-
          ments are known to timedc:

          ?[statement ...] or help[statement ...]
               timedc outputs a brief description of each statement in the
               argument list. If no arguments have been specified, timedc
               outputs a list of defined statements.

          clockdiff host ...
               Calculates and outputs the difference between the system
               clock on the local host and the system clock of the speci-
               fied remote host (host).

          trace {on|off}
               Switches logging of incoming messages to timed in the file
               /var/adm/timed.log on and off.

          setdate {hhmm | mmddhhmm[[cc]yy]}
               Resets the date.

          msite
               Establishes the host on which the current master time daemon
               is running and outputs this information.

          election host
               Proposes the timed daemon of the host as master.

          masterquit host
               After this command is issued, the timed daemon of the host
               no longer operates as the master.

          quit Terminates timedc command.
