NAME
     timedc - timed control program

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

DESCRIPTION
     timedc is used to control the operation of the timed pro-
     gram.  It may be used to:

     ⊕    measure the differences between machines' clocks,

     ⊕    find the location where the master time server is run-
          ning,

     ⊕    enable or disable tracing of messages received by
          timed, 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 argu-
          ments.

     trace { on | off }
          Enable or disable the tracing of incoming messages to
          timed in the file /usr/adm/timed.log.

     quit Exit from timedc.

     Other commands may be included for use in testing and debug-
     ging timed; the help command and the program source may be
     consulted for details.

FILES
     /usr/adm/timed.log            tracing file for timed

     /usr/adm/timed.masterlog      log file for master timed
