hi,

you have to choices :

use command "date" to set the time

exampels are ==> http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/unix-date-command-howto-see-set-date-time/

or use ntp server to synchronize the time via network :

1, manual => ntpdate -b server ( http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/WebHome)

2, you can configgure xntpd for automatic time synchronization

hot to do it :

PS : if you run some time depend application for exmaple DB server it would be better to stop it before.
