The following line comes from /usr/adm/SYSLOG: timed[88]: adj -2.408/35.54 sec/hr or -1.206/17.47; set timetrim=-18823 or -19170? What does all the information mean? How much did timed adjust the time on the local machine? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Andrews Systems Programmer, Alias Research, Toronto, Canada Phone: (416)-362-9181 UUCP: mark%alias@csri.utoronto.ca

This means the timed demon adjusted time a total of -2.408 seconds during the preceding 35.54 hours, or -1.206 seconds in the preceding 17.47 hours. If you have an IRIX 3.3 kernel (not likely), you might edit /usr/sysgen/master.d/kernel to set the "timetrim" variable based on these hints for your combination of hardware, air conditioning, power, and so on. Timetrim takes a value with "units" of nanoseconds/second. Vernon Schryver Silicon Graphics vjs@sgi.com
