 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      update - Gradually adjusts the clock on the local node to the
      specified time

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      dtscp update time absolute-time


 ARGUMENTS    [Toc]    [Back]
      time absolute-time
                Specifies the absolute time to which the clock is adjusted.
                This argument is required.


 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      The update command gradually adjusts the system clock to a new time,
      beginning at the time specified in the argument. The difference
      between the current clock value and the absolute time specified in the
      argument is used to adjust the clock.

    Privilege Required    [Toc]    [Back]
      You must have write permission on the ACL associated with the DTS
      entity in order to execute the command.

 NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]
      The update command is valid only for servers. The combined time and
      inaccuracy value you specify must be contained within the interval
      formed by the current time and inaccuracy. That is, the new setting
      must be more accurate than the current time.

      This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may
      not be provided in future releases of DCE.

 EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]
      The following example shows how to update the time for a server; the
      clock is gradually adjusted to the specified time:
