<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<P>
systemd-timedated
is a system service that may be used as a mechanism to change the system clock and timezone, as well as to enable/disable network time synchronization.
systemd-timedated
is automatically activated on request and terminates itself when it is unused.
<P>
The tool
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+timedatectl">timedatectl</A></B>(1)
is a command line client to this service.
<P>
See the
m[blue]<B>developer documentation</B>m[]<FONT SIZE="-2">[1]</FONT>
for information about the APIs
systemd-timedated
provides.

<H2>LIST OF NETWORK TIME SYNCHRONIZATION SERVICES</H2>
<P>
<B>systemd-timesyncd</B>
will look for files with a
&quot;.list&quot;
extension in
ntp-units.d/
directories. Each file is parsed as a list of unit names, one per line. Empty lines and lines with comments (&quot;#&quot;) are ignored. Files are read from
/usr/lib/systemd/ntp-units.d/
and the corresponding directories under
/etc/,
/run/,
/usr/local/lib/. Files in
/etc/
override files with the same name in
/run/,
/usr/local/lib/, and
/lib/. Files in
/run/
override files with the same name under
/usr/. Packages should install their configuration files in
/usr/lib/
(distribution packages) or
/usr/local/lib/
(local installs).
<P>
<B>Example&nbsp;1.&nbsp;ntp-units.d/ entry for systemd-timesyncd</B>

<P>
If the environment variable
<I>$SYSTEMD_TIMEDATED_NTP_SERVICES</I>
is set,
<B>systemd-timesyncd</B>
will parse the contents of that variable as a colon-separated list of unit names. When set, this variable overrides the file-based list described above.
