To me, setting date and time in linux was really difficult and I was searching many documents / websites for this, and thank you very much for such comprehensive information for setting date and time. It helps me a lot.

Hi there,

thank you very much for the info …. works like a charm !!!
btw, once I set my system date and time correctly the use of the
“#hwclock –systohc” command rules ´em all too !!!

saludos!

View:
hwclock –show
date
ls -l /etc/localtime

Change:
To change the time use date followed by the month, day, hour, minute, and year all numeric and no spaces.
date 041106232011
hwclock –systohc
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/ /etc/localtime
vi /etc/sysconfig/clock (update timezone if redhat)
service ntpd restart

Check:
hwclock –show
date
ls -l /etc/localtime

not a big deal but small typo:
# 30: Second (ss)
should read 13 or in the example it should be :30
