TIMEDC(8) BSD System Manager's Manual TIMEDC(8) NNAAMMEE ttiimmeeddcc - timed control program SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS ttiimmeeddcc [_c_o_m_m_a_n_d [_a_r_g_u_m_e_n_t _._._.]] DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN TTiimmeeddcc is used to control the operation of the timed(8) program. It may be used to: ++oo Measure the differences between machines' clocks, ++oo Find the location where the master time server is running, ++oo Enable or disable tracing of messages received by timed, and ++oo Perform various debugging actions. Without any arguments, ttiimmeeddcc will prompt for commands from the standard input. If arguments are supplied, ttiimmeeddcc interprets the first argument as a command and the remaining arguments as parameters to the command. The standard input may be redirected causing ttiimmeeddcc to read commands from a file. Commands may be abbreviated; recognized commands are: ?? [_c_o_m_m_a_n_d _._._.] hheellpp [_c_o_m_m_a_n_d _._._.] Print a short description of each command specified in the argu- ment list, or, if no arguments are given, a list of the recog- nized commands. cclloocckkddiiffff _h_o_s_t _._._. Compute the differences between the clock of the host machine and the clocks of the machines given as arguments. mmssiittee [_h_o_s_t _._._.] Show the master time server for specified host(s). ttrraaccee { _o_n | _o_f_f _} Enable or disable the tracing of incoming messages to timed in the file _/_v_a_r_/_l_o_g_/_t_i_m_e_d_._l_o_g_. eelleeccttiioonn _h_o_s_t Asks the daemon on the target host to reset its "election" timers and to ensure that a time master has been elected. qquuiitt 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.
