17.5.1. Using chronyc to Control chronyd
To make changes to the local instance of
chronyd using the command line utility chronyc in interactive mode, enter the following command as root:
~]# chronyc
chronyc must run as root if some of the restricted commands are to be used.
The chronyc command prompt will be displayed as follows:

You can type
help to list all of the commands.
The utility can also be invoked in non-interactive command mode if called together with a command as follows:
