NAME

timedc − timed control program

SYNOPSIS

timedc [command [argument ... ] ]

DESCRIPTION

The timedc command is used to control the operation of the timed(1M) program.  It may be used to:

•  measure the differences between machines’ clocks,
•  find the location where the master time server is running,
•  enable or disable tracing of messages received by timed, and
•  perform various debugging actions.

Without any arguments, timedc will prompt for commands from the standard input.  If any arguments are supplied, timedc will interpret the first argument as a command and the remaining arguments as the parameters to this command.  The standard input may be redirected causing timedc to read commands from a file. 

A timedc command may be abbreviated while maintaining its uniqueness; the recognized command are:

? [ command ...]

help [ command ...]
Print a short description of each command specified in the argument list; a list of the recognized commands will be generated if no arguments are specified.

clockdiff host ... 
Compute the differences between the clock of the host machine and the clocks of the machines given as the argument(s).

trace on

trace off Enable or disable the tracing of incoming messages to timed in the file /var/log/timed.log . 

quit Exit from timedc . 

Other timedc commands may be included for use in testing and debugging timed (consult the help command and the program source for details).
