- rdate <subcommand>
-
-
- Remote Date (rdate) is used to set the time of the local NOS
- system based on the time obtained from a remote system's time server.
- The Unix time (port 37) protocol is used.
-
-
- rdate offset [<+|-><hour_offset>]
-
- Causes the time read from the remote system to be adjusted by
- adding in the indicated <hour_offset>, which may be negative.
- If no <hour_offset> is provided, the current offset is displayed.
- Note: the time server provides the time in UTC. If an environment
- variable, TZ, is properly maintained, then an offset of zero should
- suffice. Otherwise, use the number of hours difference between local
- and UTC time.
-
- This offset command IS OBSOLETE and is no longer compiled into JNOS
- after release 1.10M.
-
- rdate server <hostname>
-
- Causes a connect to <hostname> TCP port 37, from which a time is
- obtained, adjusted by an offset if one was given, and then used to
- set the time on the local system.
