timedc(1M)                                                          timedc(1M)


NAME
     timedc - timed control program

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/etc/timedc [ command [ argument ... ] ]

DESCRIPTION
     timedc is used to control the operation of the timed(1M) 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

     +  perform various debugging actions

     Without any arguments, timedc prompts 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 can 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.

     msite [ host ... ]     Show the master time server for specified host(s).

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

     election host          Asks the timed on the target host to reset its
                            "election" timers and to ensure that a time master
                            has been elected.

     quit                   Exit from timedc.

FILES
     /var/adm/timed.log           tracing file for timed
