You set the clock with the
date utility (as root) in a terminal window.
The form is, for setting the clock to local time,
where
STRING is
to set the time of day (24-hour!).
If your system clock is set to UTC and you want to set the clock to 13 hours, 30 minutes and 30 seconds UTC you would
Code:
su - (or sudo)
date -u -s "13:30:30"
Note that the display time will be your local time, not UTC (unless, of course, your time zone is 0 degrees longitude, eh?).
See the manual page for
date or
info coreutils 'date invocation' for more information.
Hope this helps some.
