How to set time in Linux

While logged in as root do the following:

1. Type "date".
2. You should see some variation of"

"Wed Nov 24, 9:29:17 EST 1999"
3. To change the time type(as an example):

date -s 10:10
4. The system response will be:

"Wed Nov 24, 10:10:02 EST 1999"
5. Then if you want to set the hardware(BIOS) clock so the system will keep the time when it reboots type:

clock -w

or

setclock
