TIMED(8N)               COMMAND REFERENCE               TIMED(8N)



NAME
     timed - time daemon

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/timed [ -a ] [ -b ] [ -d ] [ -f logfile ] [ -t minutes
     ] remotehost

DESCRIPTION
     Timed is a network server that implements a simple time
     synchronization service.

     The local host's time is compared to the time of the
     remotehost every 60 minutes.  If the times differ, the local
     host's time will be synchronized to the time of the
     remotehost.

OPTIONS
     -a  Get the remote host's time by using the udp service time
         instead of the default service of utime. Use this option
         if the remote host is a non-UTek host.  This time is
         accurate to one second, whereas UTek time is accurate to
         1/10 second.

     -b  Boottime; invoke timed as part of the booting process.
         This begins the timed synchronization process.

     -d  Debugging; don't spawn a new process and don't
         disconnect the tty.

     -f logfile
         Instead of writing error messages to syslog(8), write
         them to logfile.

     -t minutes
         Synchronize clocks every minutes minutes instead of the
         default of every 60 minutes.

RETURN VALUE
     [USAGE]        Incorrect command line syntax. Execution
                    terminated.

     [NO_ERRS]      Command completed without error.

     [NP_WARN]      An error warranting a warning message
                    occurred. Execution continues.

     [NP_ERR]       An error occurred that was not a system
                    error.  Execution terminated.

     [P_ERR]        A system error occurred. Execution
                    terminated.  See intro(2) for more
                    information on system errors.
