You have to use date command.. for more details refer man pages of date.

Hi Jeff:

See the discussion in the 'date' manpages for the syntax and options.

Be sure that if you use '-u' that your date/time is in UTC (GMT). Otherwise the argument is presumed to be your localtime.

If you are setting time backwards, it is best to stop your databases, first. I'd also restart the 'cron' daemon afterwards. Setting time forwards (DST, perhaps?!?) isn't an issue. However, if you are "fixing" a DST issue because you didn't get the patch into your system, beware that the old rules will run in three weeks to set your localtime ahead, again!

Regards!

Hi Jeff,

Good day to you !
You can try to use 'set_parms' command, below is the url of set_parms manual :

http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-60130/set_parms.1M.html

You can use :

set_parms timezone << to set the timezone
set_parms date_time << to set date & time

Hope this information can help.

Cheers,
AW
