netdate(1M)                                              netdate(1M)


       NAME
             netdate - notify time server that date has changed

       SYNOPSIS
             netdate

       DESCRIPTION
             The netdate command notifies timed(1M) that the system date
             has changed.  If the local time server is a master, it will
             notify all of the slaves that the time has changed.  If it is
             a slave, it will request that the master update the time.

       USAGE
             netdate is the UnixWare version of the BSD rdate command.

             netdate should be run whenever a privileged user sets the date
             with date(1).  A shell script such as the following could be
             used to do both automatically.
                   :
                   #
                   # mv /bin/date /bin/s5date
                   # install as /bin/date
                   #
                   PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
                   s5date $*
                   netdate
