[nithin_max]

Hi,

I want to modify the system date, so am using the following command:


[root@rad-dev-01 /]# date
Wed Feb 23 10:20:07 UTC 2011

[root@rad-dev-01 /]# sudo date 022407002011
Thu Feb 24 07:00:00 UTC 2011

[root@rad-dev-01 /]# date
Wed Feb 23 10:23:23 UTC 2011

Once i set the date it again get reset..

Please help me


Note:
Am using ssh -i with permission file to connect the system(CentOS release 5.2 ).

Thanks In Advance,
-Max

Try as root:
date -s "23 FEB 2011 09:00:00"

The problem may arise because the hardware clock had not been synchronized with the system clock. To do this, you could use the following as root-

[root@rad-dev-01 /]# date 022407002011

[root@rad-dev-01 /]# hwclock --systohc

[root@rad-dev-01 /]# hwclock

The time should not automatically change again


For other information on hwclock, you could try

hwclock --help
man hwclock
