TSYNC

Command

TSYNC -- Synchronise Time using Internet Time Server.

Synopsis

TS[ync] <ipaddr>

Availability

Sysop-only.

Description

The TSYNC command causes XRPi to synchronise the PC time with an Internet TIME server.

It is doubtful whether this ancient DOS-XRouter function has any purpose on a Linux platform, since Linux contains tools to do the same job.

Options

The only required option is the IP address of an RFC-868 TIME server. Hostnames are not acepted in this field. A list of TIME servers is available on the nist.gov web site.

If no options are supplied, a syntax reminder is displayed.

Example

TS 129.6.15.28

Caveats

NIST planned to phase out RFC-868 TIME servers in April 2013, in favour of NTP (Network Time Protocol) servers but they were still available as of April 2019.
