The adjtimed daemon emulates the BSD adjtime(2) system call. The adjtime() routine communicates with this daemon via SYSV messages. The emulation uses an undocumented kernel variable (as of 6.0/2.0 and later releases) and as such it cannot be guaranteed to work in future HP-UX releases. Perhaps HP-UX will have a real adjtime(2) system call in the future. Author: Tai Jin (tai@sde.hp.com)
