 Name

    timedc - timed control program

 Syntax

    timedc [ command [ argument ... ] ]

 Description

    timedc controls 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 argu-
                        ments.

    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.
