Convert with: +. +.\" rst2man.py sntpc.rst > sntpc.8 +. +.\" rst2man.py comes from the SBo development/docutils package. +. +.SH SYNOPSIS +.sp +sntpc [\fB\-bhnv\fP] [\fB\-p\fP \fIport\fP] [\fB\-s\fP \fIserver\fP] [\fB\-t\fP \fIthreshold\fP] +.SH DESCRIPTION +.sp +\fBsntpc\fP queries an NTP server for the current time, and sets the +local clock to the time reported by the server. It\(aqs a standalone +binary, with no config file and no dependency on the \fIntp\fP package. +.sp +\fBsntpc\fP does not run as a daemon like \fBntpd\fP does. To keep +the time in sync, you can run \fBsntpc\fP from root\(aqs \fBcrontab\fP(1) +every 30 minutes (or however often it\(aqs necessary). +.sp +\fBsntpc\fP requires root access to actually set the local clock, +although it can be run with \fB\-n\fP by non\-privileged users (e.g. with +\fB\-v\fP to simply check the local time against the server\(aqs time). +.SH OPTIONS +.INDENT 0.0 +.TP +.B \-b +Allow time shift backwards (default: forward only). +.TP +.B \-h +Show built\-in help message. +.TP +.B \-n +No set time (dry run). +.TP +.B \-p +Set server port number (default: 123). +.TP +.B \-s +Set server name or IPv4 address (default: pool.ntp.org). +.TP +.B \-t +Set maximum time offset threshold (default: 300 seconds). This can +be set to a ludicrously high value such as 40000000000 (over 1,000 years) +to effectively disable the threshold. +.TP +.B \-v +Verbose (default: silent) +.UNINDENT +.SH COPYRIGHT +.sp +See the file /usr/doc/sntpc\-20181113_1ca1d00/LICENSE.txt for license information. +.SH AUTHORS +.sp +sntpc was written by Greg Hewgill. +.sp +This man page written for the SlackBuilds.org project +by B.
