I played with that for a while but ran into various problems and gave up on
it. We use Mark Bixby's XNTP instead. Works great, lasts long time. :-)
(this is CLIENT mode - where you sync off an external server. XNTP as a
server on the 3000 doesn't work)

ntpdate.pub.xntp "-B nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn"

                Subject:        [HP3000-L] timesync from telamon?

                hi all!

                i'm trying to get the freeware program 'timesync' from
                telamon to work...and i'm stuck.  the system is running
                5.5pp7, dns is enabled, the time server is pingable and
                working, 37 is set up in services.net (and properly linked),
                tztab is present and the 'tz' variable is set.  here's what
                i'm getting....

                L0945#showvar tz
                TZ = PST8PDT

                L0945#timesync.utl.lib '-t -h time.longs.com -v'
                TIMESYNC(nm): 09Jan2001-09:32 (A.01.26) MPE/iX
                Telamon, Inc. (C) 1994, 1920
                Usage: TIMESYNC '[-t] [-c] [-b n] [-h host] [-n] [-v]'
                   -t     - Set system clock
                   -c     - Set CE (Console Engine)
                   -b n   - Bias server time by +|- 'n' hours
                   -h     - Specify host system (TCP/IP port 37)
                   -n     - :SETCLOCK;NOW (dflt is GRADUAL)
                   -v     - Verbose display

                  (Note: System clock set using :SETCLOCK;[GRADUAL|NOW])

                TIMESYNC determines GMT by accessing the time (or
                timeserver)
                  TCP/IP port on the designated system.  The value is then
                  adjusted for the current locale's timezone before the
                attempt
                  is made to set the clock.

                The bias value's default is determined by examining the TZ
                  environment variable.

                If found, TZTAB.LIB.SYS will be used to determine the
                correct
                  offset for your timezone, taking daylight savings into
                  account.  If no TZTAB file is found, the offset will be
                taken
                  from the numeric portion of the TZ value.

                Program terminated in an error state. (CIERR 976)
                ----------------------
                i don't see why it's throwing the help text since all the
                parameters are right.  it's certainly not getting as far as
                trying to do a 'setclock'.  any ideas?     - d
