@ -8,37 +8,34 @@ Ntimed is a network time synchronization client for the Amiga. It is based on th
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.
Time servers operate using GMT. Ntimed supports the Amiga Time Zone Database. Local GMT offset will be used if no time zone is selected.

Format
NTIMED [PARAM <parameter>] [TRACEFILE <file>] [TIMEZONE <zone>] {servers} [SYNC] [SAVE] [QUIET]
NTIMED [PARAM <parameter>] [TRACEFILE <file>] {servers} [SYNC] [SAVE] [SHOW] [QUIET]
Template
P=PARAM/K,T=TRACEFILE/K,Z=TIMEZONE/K,SERVERS/M,SYNC/S,SAVE/S,QUIET/S
P=PARAM/K,T=TRACEFILE/K,SERVERS/M/A,SYNC/S,SAVE/S,SHOW/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.
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. {servers} is a list of NTP time servers.
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.
SYNC will tell Ntimed to spent 5-10 seconds synchronizing and then exit. If 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.
Example 1
Synchronize to NTP servers
NTIMED ntp1.example.com ntp2.example.com
Example 2
NTIMED TRACEFILE=RAM:trace TIMEZONE=CEST ntp1.example.com
Synchronize to single NTP server and put trace in RAM
NTIMED TRACEFILE=RAM:trace ntp1.example.com
Example 3
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
Example 4
NTIMED Z EST ntp4.example.com SYNC
Example 5
NTIMED Z=?
Synchronize 10 seconds to single NTP server and save result to RTC
NTIMED ntp4.example.com SYNC SAVE
