Begin4 Title: adjtimex - display or set the kernel time variables Version: 1.28 Entered-date: 2009-11-07 Description: Display or set the kernel time variables. This program gives you raw access to the kernel time variables. For a machine connected to the Internet, or equipped with a precision oscillator or radio clock, the best way to keep the system clock correct is with ntpd. However, for a standalone or intermittently connected machine, you may use adjtimex instead to at least correct for systematic drift. adjtimex can optionally adjust the system clock using the CMOS clock as a reference, and can log times for long-term estimation of drift rates. Keywords: time, system clock, hardware clock Author: ssd@nevets.oau.org (Steven S.
