Short: OS timeclock resync tool (version 3.00) Author: granta@mindspring.com (Grant Allen) Uploader: granta mindspring com (Grant Allen) Type: comm/net Architecture: m68k-amigaos TimeLord: the system time manager from the western province on Gallifrey (otherwise known as the U.S. of A.). It will re-sync your system battery clock and the standard OS clock with that of an internet host. This tool can be run both from the command line and from the WorkBench. When run from the WorkBench, the GUI has several additional features not available to the transient command: 1) You can set up a list of hosts with which to re-sync. You can manually select a host from the list, or have it sequence down through the list, trying each host in sequence, until it either successfully connects with one or has failed to connect with all of the hosts in the list. You can also prioritize the entries by moving your favorite entry/entries to the top of the list. It will always re-sync from the top of the list down. Included are 3 hosts which connect to 3 separate addresses at the U.S. Naval Observatory Atomic Clock in Washington D.C. (USA), which uses Universal time, rather than Eastern time, which is why it's timezone is set to GMT. I have included all 3 because not all of them are always available (I have had trouble, from time to time, connecting with each one). TimeLord also adjusts for unexpected things like unusual system base years (the provided hosts all have a system base year of 1900!) 2) Can be configured to re-sync the clocks at a regular interval. It is currently configured to continually re-sync the system clocks at 10 minute intervals while you are on line. When this feature kicks in to perform a re-sync, it attempts to re-sync using the "sequence through hosts" feature mentioned in #1. This automatic re-sync feature can be disabled by setting the re-sync interval to 0 minutes, or through commodities exchange. 3) Window can be shrunk and moved off to the side allowing it to be run as a background daemon. It also installs itself as a commodity allowing you to completely close the window, and even disable the auto-resync feature mentioned in #2. ----------------------------------- The latest version of this tool, and many others developed by me, can be found at my web site at: http://www.mindspring.com/~granta/ I am frequently updating this tool in particular.
