Introduction
============
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 server. Public available NTP servers are reachable through the
Internet. Ntimed for the Amiga conforms only to IPv4 networks. Your Amiga
needs to be connected to a network and to have an IPv4 address.
Differences in versions
=======================
There are some differences between the official Ntimed and Ntimed for the
Amiga, mainly:
* poll server is not supported
* sim client is not supported
* python is not tested nor supported
* NAT does not seem to work (FS-UAE)
* Regression test are not support
* Amiga OS 4 and Morph OS are not supported
These differences are mostly due to the way Amiga DOS accepts parameters.
Poll server and sim client might be released as independent executables.
Missing support for BSD NAT (or whatever you would like to call the UAE
implementation) is out of the scope for this application.
As the official Ntimed gets updated there will be issues merging new features
due to the heavy Amiga changes. Therefore do not expect the features of the
Amiga version to match those of the official Ntimed.
Lack of support for Amiga OS 4 and Morph OS are because of lack of development
and test environments. I do not have access to neither development machines nor
any machines to perform tests. Feel free to make your own version or to
contribute the required changes.
Reference
=========
Format
NTIMED [PARAM <parameter>] [TRACEFILE <file>] [TIMEZONE <zone>] {servers}
[SYNC] [SAVE] [QUIET]
Template
P=PARAM/K,T=TRACEFILE/K,Z=TIMEZONE/K,SERVERS/M,SYNC/S,SAVE/S,QUIET/S
PARAM are used to show and set internal Ntimed parameters. A list of parameters
will be shown when using question mark. TRACEFILE can be specified to write a
full blow-by-blow trace file for analysis and debugging.
TIMEZONE is used to specify local time zone. If no value is given, time will
be synchronized to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). A list of parameters will
be shown when using question mark. {servers} is a list of NTP time servers.
SYNC will tell Ntimed to spend 5-10 seconds synchronizing and then exit. If
SAVE is specified, time will be saved to the real-time clock (RTC) upon exit.
NTIMED can be stopped with CTRL C.
Example 1
NTIMED ntp1.example.com ntp2.example.com
Example 2
NTIMED TRACEFILE=RAM:trace TIMEZONE=CEST ntp1.example.com
Example 3
NTIMED P "foo=20,poll_rate=25" T T:trace ntp7.example.com
Example 4
NTIMED Z EST ntp4.example.com SYNC
Example 5
NTIMED Z=?
