Commands Reference, Volume 5
Returns information about the
timed daemon.
timedc [ Subcommand [ Parameter
... ] ]
The timedc command
controls the operation of the timed daemon. The
timedc command does the following:
- Measures the difference
between clocks on various machines on a network.
- Finds the location of the
master time server.
- Enables or disables tracing
of messages received by the timed daemon.
- Debugs.
Without any variables, the
timedc command assumes an interactive mode and prompts for
subcommands from standard input. If variables are supplied, the
timedc command interprets the first variable as a subcommand and
the remaining variables as parameters to the subcommand. You can
redirect standard input so the timedc command reads subcommands
from a file.
The timedc command
recognizes the following subcommands:
| ? [ Parameter
... ]
| Displays a short description of each variable specified in the parameter
list. The ? subcommand only works in interactive
mode. If you give no variables, the ? subcommand shows a
list of subcommands recognized by the timedc command.
|
| clockdiff Host
...
| Computes the differences between the clock of the host machine and the
clocks of the machines given as variables.
|
| election
Host ...
| Requests that the timed daemon on the specified host ( s)
reset its election timers and ensure that a timed master server is
available. Up to 4 hosts can be specified. If a master
timed server is no longer available, then the timed
daemon on the specified host (s) will request to become the new
timed master server.
The specified host( s) must be
running the timed daemon in submaster mode with the -M
flag.
|
| help [
Parameter ... ]
| Displays a short description of each subcommand specified in the
parameter list. If you give no variables, the help
subcommand shows a list of subcommands recognized by the timedc
command.
|
| msite
| Finds the location of the master site.
|
| quit
| Exits the timedc command.
|
| trace { on |
off }
| Enables or disables tracing of incoming messages to the timed
daemon. The messages are held in the
/var/adm/timed.log file.
|
You can use other commands for
testing and debugging the timed daemon. Use the
help command to find these commands.
These error messages may occur

| Ambiguous command
| Abbreviation matches more than one command.

| Invalid command
| No match found.
|
| Privileged command
