• Print it in seconds since epoch
• Offset mode for checking drift generically
• Nagios mode for checking drift nagiosically

OPTIONS

• -community="public": SNMP community to chat with
• -critical=0: if > 0, change output to Nagios format; critical level is >= critical
• -floatoffset=false: instead of displaying the time, display the offset in fractional seconds between localhost and the remote server.
