How to change server time?

Take a glance through the man pages for date.

It's been a couple of years since I last used it,

but when I did, it was for the express purposes

of changing the system date to a specific time.

It was on an old SB100 with an unpatched OBP.

Their system clocks would wander all over the place

until the problem got fixed with an OBP update.

If I recall, the command syntax I used was something like ...

# date HHmm.ss <enter>

For example -- "date 1832.50" would be for 18:32:50 o'clock of the system's current day and timezone.

... then I used the simpler date command syntax to check up on the results.

# date <enter>
