update(8dts)

Synopsis

dtscp update time absolute-time

Arguments

time absolute-time
Specifies the absolute time to which the clock is adjusted. This argument is required.

Description
The update command gradually adjusts the system clock to a new time, beginning at the time specified in the argument. The difference between the current clock value and the absolute time specified in the argument is used to adjust the clock.

Privileges Required
You must have w (write) permission on the ACL associated with the DTS entity to execute the command.

Notes
The update command is valid only for servers. The combined time and inaccuracy value you specify must be contained within the interval formed by the current time and inaccuracy. That is, the new setting must be more accurate than the current time.

This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.

Examples
The following example shows how to update the time for a server; the clock is gradually adjusted to the specified time:

dtscp> update time 1993-12-30-11:24:00.000-05:00I0.000
