              Disables the control service.

       --only-control
              Only enables the control service.

              Only enables the timesync service.

       --timesync-interval
              Specifies the interval at which to synchronize the time with the host. The default is 10000 ms.

       --timesync-min-adjust
              The minimum absolute drift value measured in milliseconds to make adjustments for.  The default is
