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 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.
