Can someone please help me out and tell me how to change my system time. The problem is, it has am and pm mixed up. Is it possible to 'sync it with a time server or can I manually change it?

(for linux)
For OS time:
date -s 21:57:45
To sync the bios time to the OS time:
hwclock --systohc

-Dan

Su - (to root)

in command prompt [date -s 'date etc'] This is the command to set time & date.

I recommend in command propmt type [date --help], to get a grip of things.

use rdate -s <time server ip> to sync with a public server.

Search google for "public time server" for a list.

As Stated Above, which also a good method.
This is the time server i use :)

rdate -s tick.uh.edu
Set server time to accordance with public time server.


rdate -p tick.uh.edu
to get the server time of the public time server.

I use the following:
/usr/sbin/ntpdate ntp.nasa.gov

For a quick change,


date MMddHHmm ENTER


where,
MM: current month 2 digits
dd: current day 2 digits
HH: hour ..2 digits [00:00 - 23:59]
mm: minute 2 digits [00 - 59]

ss: seconds -- optional [date MMddHHmmss]


for example

date 06031430

for June-03, 14:30 HRS i.e 2:30 PM

Hope this helps
