timedctimed control program

timedc [command [argument ...]]

The timedc utility is used to control the operation of the timed(8) program. It may be used to:

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 ...]

[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.

host ...
Compute the differences between the clock of the host machine and the clocks of the machines given as arguments.

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

{ on | off }
Enable or disable the tracing of incoming messages to timed(8) in the file /var/log/timed.log.

host1 [host2 ...]
Asks the daemon on the target host to reset its "election" timers and to ensure that a time master has been elected.

Exit from timedc.

Other commands may be included for use in testing and debugging timed(8); the help command and the program source may be consulted for details.
