Ntimed is a network time synchronization client for the Amiga. It is based on
|
|
|
|
|
the Ntimed free and open-source software by Poul-Henning Kamp, sponsored by the
|
|
|
|
|
Linux Foundation.

It uses the NTP protocol to synchronize the local Amiga clock to a set of
|
|
|
|
|
network servers. Public available NTP servers are reachable through the
|
2015-07-10 21:09:37 +00:00
|
|
|
Internet.

Ntimed for the Amiga conforms only with IPv4 networks. Your Amiga needs to be
|
|
|
|
|
connected to a network and to have an IPv4 address.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Time servers operate using GMT. Ntimed supports the Amiga Time Zone Database.
|

|
|
|
Local GMT offset will be used if no time zone is selected.

PARAM is used to show and set internal Ntimed parameters. A list of parameters
|
2015-07-10 21:09:37 +00:00
|
|
|
will be shown when using question mark. TRACEFILE can be specified to write a
|
|
|
|
|
full blow-by-blow trace file for analysis and debugging. {servers} is a list of
|
|
|
|
|
NTP time servers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNC will tell Ntimed to spent 5-10 seconds synchronizing and then exit. If
|
2015-07-25 21:11:11 +00:00
|
|
|
SAVE is specified time will be save to the real-time clock (RTC) upon exit.
|

|
|
|
SHOW will display extended debugging information in the shell.

NTIMED can be stopped with CTRL C.

Synchronize to NTP servers:

NTIMED ntp1.example.com ntp2.example.com
|
|
|
|

Synchronize to single NTP server and put trace in RAM:

|
|
|
NTIMED TRACEFILE=RAM:trace ntp1.example.com
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Synchronize to single NTP server with modified parameters and put trace in T:
|
|
|
|
|
NTIMED P "foo=20,poll_rate=25" T T:trace ntp7.example.com
|
|
|
|
|
|

Synchronize 10 seconds to single NTP server and save result to RTC:
