timedc(8)
NAME
  timedc - Controls the timed daemon

SYNOPSIS
  timedc [command argument ... ]

  The timedc, or timed control program, controls the operation of the
  timed(8) daemon.

DESCRIPTION
  The timedc program can be used to perform the following tasks:

    ·  Measure the differences between machines' clocks.

    ·  Find the location of the master time server.

    ·  Enable or disable tracing of messages received by the timed daemon.

    ·  Debug.

  Without any arguments, timedc prompts for commands from the standard input.
  If arguments are supplied, timedc interprets the first argument as a
  command and the remaining arguments as arguments to the command.  The
  standard input may be redirected, causing timedc to read commands from a
  file.

  The timedc commands can be abbreviated.  The following is a list of
  recognized commands:

  ? [command ...]

  help [command ...]
	    Prints a short description of each command specified in the
	    argument list, or, if no arguments are given, prints a list of
	    the recognized commands.

  clockdiff host ...
	    Computes the differences between the clock of the host machine
	    and the clocks of the machines given as arguments.	This command
	    is only valid for machines whose clocks are within 12 hours of
	    the host machine clock.  Machines whose clocks are more than 12
	    hours different from the host machine clock will report incorrect
	    time differences.

  trace on | off
	    Enables or disables the tracing of incoming messages to timed in
	    the file /var/adm/timed.log.

  quit	    Exits from timedc.

  msite	    Reports the hostname of the master timed server in use.
