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.
