Netatalk 4.5.0
Name
timelord — AppleTalk time server daemon
Synopsis
timelord [-d] [-l] [-n nbpname]
timelord [-v | -V]
Description
timelord is a simple time server for Macintosh and Apple II computers that use a client called tardis. It has the same capabilities as the Timelord CDEV for Macintosh, created at the University of Melbourne.
The tardis client for Macintosh is implemented as a Chooser extension. In the Chooser, pick the timelord instance to synchronize the Mac’s system time with. Once synchronized, tardis will automatically synchronize with the server at boot, or scheduled at regular intervals while the Mac is running (the latter requires tardis 1.4).
A tardis client for Apple II computers is also available, as part of the MG’s DaveX Utilities suite.
Options
-d

-l
Return the time zone adjusted localtime of the server. The default behavior without this option is GMT.
-n nbpname
Register this server as nbpname. This defaults to the hostname.
-v | -V
Print version information and exit.
