Put a file such as the following on each node:

TIMESERVICE.COM is:

$ OPEN/APPEND NET SYS$NET
$ WRITE NET "''F$fao("!6AS: !%D",F$getsyi("NODENAME"),0)'"
$ CLOSE NET
$ EXIT

If you don't want the nodename, 

$ WRITE NET "''F$fao("!%D",0)'"



Define this as a TCP/IP Service

$ tcpip show service/full timeservice
 
Service: TIMESERVICE
                           State:     Enabled
Port:             2112     Protocol:  TCP             Address:  0.0.0.0
Inactivity:          5     User_name: SYSTEM          Process:  TIMESERVICE
Limit:               1     Active:        0           Peak:         1
 
File:         SYS$MANAGER:TIMESERVICE.COM
Flags:        Listen
 
Socket Opts:  Rcheck Scheck
 Receive:            0     Send:               0
 
Log Opts:     None
 File:        not defined
 
Security
 Reject msg:  not defined
 Accept host: 0.0.0.0
 Accept netw: 0.0.0.0

Then, in your script, $ TELNET/LOG_FILE={time.txt} host 2112

THen do what you need with the info in the {time.txt] file.
