SYNOPSIS
timedc [command [argument ...]]
DESCRIPTION
Timedc is used to control the operation of the timed(8) program. It may
be used to:
o Measure the differences between machines' clocks,
o Find the location where the master time server is running,
o Enable or disable tracing of messages received by timed, and
o 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 argu-
ment list, or, if no arguments are given, a list of the recog-
nized 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/log/timed.log.
election host
Asks the daemon on the target host to reset its "election" timers
and to ensure that a time master has been elected.
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.
