TIMEDC(1M)                           SysV                           TIMEDC(1M)



NAME
     timedc - timed control program

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

DESCRIPTION
     timedc is used to control the operation of the timed program.  It may  be
     used  to  measure  the  differences  between  machines'  clocks, find the
     location where the master time server is  running,  and  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  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
          Print the name of the current master site.

     quit
          Exit from timedc.

NOTE
     To  monitor  timed  operation,  system  administrators  should  configure
     syslogd for daemon logging.
