In Linux you have the system clock and the hardware clock. The system clock is the clock of your motherboard that can be set in the bios setup.
To set the system clock, the command is: date mmddhhmmyyyy To set the hardware clock, use the command: hwclock --set --date="mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss" To set the system clock from the hw clock: hwclock --hctosys To set the hw clock from the system clock: hwclock --systohc Consult "man date" and "man hwclock" for more details.
