Time and Date

[Shisui 536]

How can I set up the time and date to be the same as my PC?

Since I'm hosting the machine from my PC.

 

Thanks.

If you type this in your freebsd console :

date

you will get something like this

Wed April  9 23:33:19 EEST 2015

That means you have to set your time .

 

date yymmddhhmmss

 

Where,

• yy : Year in two digit
• mm : Month (1-12)
• dd : Day (1-31)
• hh : Hours (0..23)
• mm : Minutes (0..59)
• ss : Seconds (0..61)

 

For example:

date 0804152335

8-Apr-2015, 23:35 PM

 

If you just want to update time

 

# date 1630

16:30PM

NTP

 

It will be good for you and your freebsd too. You may not set your second sometime I know that pain

 

Kind Regards
