Hey guys, this is an easy one, How do I set the time on my linux box-don't seem to figure out how?
Paul.
You can do this as root:
hwclock --set --date=11:30 (set the right time here)
and
hwclock --hctosys
There are a couple of options you also need to set.
The first is to decide whether your system should be set to Local Time
or UCT Time. And set the correct time zone. Yast->System->Select Time
Zone.
If your system dual boots with a Microsoft OS then set the clock to
local time, but if you do not dual boot, set it to UTC (eg. GMT). GMT is
better since your daylight savings time will toggle correctly.
Note that the hwclock(8) command will update the CMOS clock.
