timedc(8)
NAME
  timedc - Controls the timed daemon

SYNOPSIS
  timedc [command  argument...]

DESCRIPTION
  The timedc program (timed control program) controls the operation of the
  timed daemon. 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 operands, timedc prompts for commands from the standard input.
  If operands are supplied, timedc interprets the first operand as a command
  and the remaining operands as arguments to that command.  The standard
  input may be redirected, causing timedc to read operands 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 /var/adm/timed.log file.

  quit	  Exits from timedc.

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