    CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION

    This window allow one to set up a synchronization process.

    This window contains the following fields:

    Synch. Clock on Host(s)

    Use this field if you want to limit the clock synchronization to a
    subset of the currently managed hosts. If you are using multiple
    entries, leave a blank between each entry. You can also click on the
    arrow button to the right to bring up a pick list of all currently
    managed hosts and make your selections from there.

    Master Clock Hostname

    Use this field to specify which host will act as the master time
    keeper.

    Interval

    You can use this field to specify how often the clock synchronizations
    should occur. This field will accept both relative and absolute time
    formats. Dates or times aren't allowed unless they're purely intervals.
    See TIME FORMATS below for more information.

    

    This window contains the following buttons:

    Apply

    Once you've made your selections, click on this button to establish
    the synchronization for all selected hosts' clocks in the current
    pool. You will be prompted to confirm your action.

    TIME FORMATS

    There are several fields throughout the Enlighten product where you
    can specify a date/time format. For each of these fields, you can
    specify the date and/or time period in two ways: absolutely or
    relatively.

    The first is as a static period, where the period entered is the
    absolute period used in the search. This is the only way to search
    for a combined date/time format. To look for a file created since
    May 10, 1996 at 12 noon, you could use the entry: May 10 96 at
    12:00.

    The second is a relative period, where the period entered is set
    against the current system clock time and then applied during the
    search. This is strictly a time OR date format, e.g., 2 seconds or 1
    month. To find users who have been logged in during the last three
    days, you could use the entry: 3 days.

    Either way, the format is case-insensitive. For example, you could
    use JAN, Jan, or jan as the abbreviation for the month of January.
    This appendix shows all the BNF time measurements in initial caps
    (e.g., Jan or January, 2 Sec or 2 Seconds, etc.).

    Some typical uses of the static format in a Date search field are:

    Absolute: 15 1996 (defaults to the current month)

        Jan 1 97
        July 4 (defaults to the current year)

    Some additional uses of the absolute format in a Time search field
    are:

        June 15 at 3 PM (defaults to the current year)
        June 16 at 2AM (defaults to the current year)
        June 17 96 at 15:31
        18 at 9:31:14 AM (defaults to current month AND year)

    Some typical uses of the relative format in a Date search field are:

        Relative: 1 second

        5 Min
        1 day
        2 weeks
        1 Year

    The rest of this appendix defines the time formats you can use
    whenever you fill in a date and/or time field.
