NAME
ptktime - Perl/Tk Time Client for X
SYNOPSIS
ptktime [timeserver]
DESCRIPTION
ptktime is a time (TCP port 37) client for X, written in Perl/Tk.
It will compare your system's time with a timeserver on another machine.
OPTIONS
- timeserver
-
The remote timeserver to compare times with.
REQUIREMENTS
ptktime requires a fairly up-to-date version of Perl (version 5.002 or better). It also (obviously) requires Perl/Tk. Perl/Tk is available in the Nick-Ing Simmons author directory at CPAN. It is also available as a Debian package.
AUTHOR and BUG REPORTING
ptktime was written by Alan Ford <[email protected]> Please report bugs to that address.

The time (port 37) protocol is defined in RFC868.
A related protocol, daytime, is defined in RFC867.
FUTURE PLANS
At some time I intend to include the facility to set the local machine time to the timeserver's time.
