Reset the date and time to synchronize with another system, by using the rdate command.
# rdate another-system |
Name of the another system
Verify that you have reset your system's date correctly by using the date command.
The output should show a date and time that matches that of the other system.
The following example shows how to use rdate to synchronize the date and time of one system with another. In this example, the system earth, running several hours behind, is reset to match the date and time of the server starbug.
earth# date Tue Jun 5 11:08:27 MDT 2001 earth# rdate starbug Tue Jun 5 14:06:37 2001 earth# date Tue Jun 5 14:06:40 MDT 2001 |
