netdate(1Mtcp)
netdate --
notify time server that date has changed
Synopsis
netdate
Description
The netdate command notifies
timed(1Mtcp)
that the system date has changed.
If the local time server is a master,
it will notify all of the slaves that the time has changed.
If it is a slave, it will request that the master update the time.
Usage
netdate should be run
whenever a privileged user sets the date with
date(1).
A shell script such as the following could be used to do both automatically.
:
#
# mv /bin/date /bin/s5date
# install as /bin/date
#
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
s5date $*
netdate
