[rdk_ec]

How to execute the "Date -s" linux command as non-root/non-sudoer in Ubuntu?

Hello and welcome!

You must have root or sudo permissions to alter the date on a machine under Linux.

[rdk_ec]

isn't there any hack to achieve this as a normal user?

or is it possible that the root can give permission to the normal user to execute this command?

You can take a look at using the settimeofday command, but I believe you'll still need root permissions to use it:

settimeofday(2): get/set time - Linux man page

[rdk_ec]

I need a way to execute without root permission
