How do I set time clock on my Linux server?

[Jorge Cocomess]

I am currently running RHAS 3.0 and I would like to know how I go about setting the clock on my server at the command line.

Thank you in advance.

As root, use the data command:

date MMDDHHMMYYYY.SS

For example

02 january 2007 13:14:00

date 010213142007.00

See man date.

Once I updated the date & time, how can I synchronized with the hwclock time without a reboot?

Thanks for your response.

Hi Jorge:

Have a look at the manpages for 'date' and for 'hwclock'.

Regards!
