NAME

       chronyc - command-line interface for chronyd

SYNOPSIS

       chronyc [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       chrony is a pair of programs for maintaining the accuracy of computer clocks.

       chronyc  is  a  command-line  interface program which can be used to monitor chronyd's performance and to
       change various operating parameters whilst it is running.

USAGE

       A detailed description of all commands supported by chronyc is available via the  documentation  supplied
       with the distribution (chrony.txt and chrony.texi).

OPTIONS

       A summary of the options supported by chronyc is included below.

       -h hostname
              specify hostname (default 127.0.0.1)

       -p port-number
              specify port-number

       -n     display raw IP addresses (don't attempt to look up hostnames)

       -4     resolve hostnames only to IPv4 addresses

       -6     resolve hostnames only to IPv6 addresses

       -m     allow multiple commands to be specified on the command line.  Each argument will be interpreted as
              a whole command.

       -f conf-file
              This  option  can  be  used  to  specify an alternate location for the configuration file (default
              /etc/chrony/chrony.conf). The configuration file is needed for the -a option.

       -a     With this option chronyc will try to  authenticate  automatically  on  start.  It  will  read  the
              configuration  file,  read  the  command  key  from  the keyfile and run the authhash and password
              commands.

       command
              specify command.  If no command is given, chronyc will read commands interactively.
