RDATE(ADMN)                                UNIX System V



     Name
          rdate - notify time server that date has changed


     Syntax
          rdate


     Description
          rdate notifies timed(ADMN) 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 ask the master to update the time.

          rdate should be run whenever the super user  sets  the  date
          with date(C).  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 $*
          rdate
