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This offset command IS OBSOLETE and is no longer compiled into JNOS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.
