TIMEDC(ADMN)                               UNIX System V



     Name
          timedc - timed control program


     Syntax
          timedc [ command [ argument ... ] ]


     Description
          timedc is  used  to  control  the  operation  of  the  timed
          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  arguments  are  supplied, timedc
          interprets the first argument as a command and the remaining
          arguments  as parameters to the command.  The standard input
          may be redirected, causing timedc to read  commands  from  a
          file.  Commands may be abbreviated; recognized commands are:

          ? [ command ... ]

          help [ command ... ]
               Print a short description of each command specified  in
               the argument list or, if no arguments are given, a list
               of the recognized commands.

          clockdiff host ...
               Compute the differences between the clock of  the  host
               machine  and  the  clocks  of  the  machines  given  as
               arguments.

          trace { on | off }
               Enable or disable the tracing of incoming  messages  to
               timed in the file /usr/adm/timed.log.

          quit
               Exit from timedc.

          Other commands may  be  included  for  use  in  testing  and
          debugging timed; the help command and the program source may
          be consulted for details.


     Files
          /usr/adm/timed.log         tracing file for timed
          /usr/adm/timed.masterlog   log file for master timed
