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.
Clear Fields
Click on this button to clear the existing choices in all fields.
Cancel
Click on this button to close the window without making any changes.
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.
