Setting System and Hardware Time On GNU/Linux
It is daylight savings time again. For those systems that don't automatically sync their time, you may have to set this manually. If you are in the U.S, you can find the correct time here.
Let's set the system time:
root@srv-1 u-1 # date
Mon Apr 5 03:45:59 PDT 2004
root@srv-1 u-1 # date 040504142004
Mon Apr 5 04:14:00 PDT 2004
|
That isn't all, though, because we have to set the hardware time:
root@srv-1 u-1 # hwclock --show
Mon Apr 5 03:52:01 2004 -0.308606 seconds
root@srv-1 u-1 #
root@srv-1 u-1 # hwclock --systohc
root@srv-1 u-1 # hwclock --show
Mon Apr 5 04:14:30 2004 -0.602298 seconds
root@srv-1 u-1 # date
Mon Apr 5 04:14:35 PDT 2004
root@srv-1 u-1 #
|
All is good.
