CLOCK.NLM 3,371 05-25-98 1:00p
|
Description |
Novell NetWare v4.x server utility for easy and cheap
way to get server time much more accurate. This module do
it by correction of systematic error of the real-time
CMOS clock. Designed for primary time server, ie. server
with line "set Default Time Server Type =
SINGLE" in AUTOEXEC.NCF. This server (TIMESYNC.NLM)
should update system time from real-time CMOS clock,
because CLOCK.NLM can adjust this CMOS clock only.
|
Using |
- Set correct server time by console command set
time hh:mm:ss
- After longer period (minimum 14 days) check
server time and calculate system time shift in
milliseconds per day
- Set correct server time by console command set
time hh:mm:ss
- To start adjusting, at the file
server console type:
load clock -milliseconds
/d if clock was ahead
load clock milliseconds
/d if clock was late
- Add same line without /d switch to AUTOEXEC.NCF
|
At the file server console type:
load clock
w/o any parameters to show real-time clock as well as
system time
load clock /? to
get help |
|
- Maximum milliseconds is
1,440,000 ie. one second per minute. Minimum is
one.
|
- milliseconds can be
updated dynamically when CLOCK.NLM is running, so
you can fine tune it at any time. In this case
don't forget modify AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
|
- Each clock correction is displayed on file server
console screen and last adjusting time is saved
to SYS:/SYSTEM/CLOCK.ADJ for using it after
server down and reboot.
|
- When something going wrong, delete file
SYS:/SYSTEM/CLOCK.ADJ, set correct server time
and load clock milliseconds
again.
|
| Examples |
- Start adjusting server's real-time clock if it
was late 7.2 seconds per day:
load clock 7200
|
- Display current adjusting time in seconds
and both server times:
load clock
