I'm anxious about the setting of the system time of our Tandem
(G6.2x). I should set the correct time but I can see the following
considerations on pages of NTLibrary:
" ... If you use SETTIME to set the system clock forward or backward
two minutes or less, the system adjusts the clock in small increments
rather than setting it to the new time. Adjusting the clock forward
two minutes takes about 33 hours. Adjusting the clock back two minutes
takes about 14 days.
If you issue two SETTIME commands in less than ten seconds, the system
stops any ongoing adjustment and sets the clock to the value specified
in the second call..."
Our systime is 4,5 minutes slow and this value is larger value than 2
minutes. I want that our system should use the small adjusting but the
text in NTL says "two or less...". Will the system execute the
adjusting with this slow method in case of the 4,5 minutes, too?
The manual says it uses incremental adjusting for periods of "two minutes or
less." Four and a half minutes is greater than two minutes, so.... no.
Of course, you could issue three separate SETTIME commands, two days apart,
advancing the time by 1 minute 30 seconds each time.
