NAME¶
dioddate - get server system time
SYNOPSIS¶
dioddate [OPTIONS] [-s NAME] [file [file...]]
DESCRIPTION¶
dioddate obtains the current system time and zone information from a
diod server by reading ctl:date. If the --set-time option
is specified, sets the local system time on the client; otherwise prints the
server time on stdout.
This is a simple way to obtain rough time synchronization before
issuing a MUNGE-authenticated attach request, for example in a bootstrap
environment where the "ctl" synthetic file system is exported with
the "noauth" option.
OPTIONS¶
- -s, --server NAME
- The server in IP[:PORT], HOST[:PORT], or /path/to/socket form (default
localhost:564).
- -m, --msize SIZE
- The maximum request size including 9P headers (default 65536).
- -u, --uid UID
- Try to attach to the server as the specified user (default your effective
uid).
- -t, --timeout SECS
- Force timeout after specified number of seconds (default no timeout).
- -S, --set-time
- Set the local system time to match the server's time.
