Set Date And Time on Debian

Hmm.. yesterday i try to upgrade my Debian Box with my nearest mirror , but i dont know what someting error like that ;)
fisrt step to check my debian is check the time and date on debian, whoala my date&time not uptodate ;)


To Set Date in debian with Command

#date -–set 2008-07-23 (format : yyyy-mm-dd)

and then set the time

#date --set 16:10:00 (format : hh:mm:ss)

# hwclock -–systohc --utc (to to sync hardware clock to what we introduced earlier)

if emerge errors like this
"select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out"

Try from the command line

#hwclock --systohc --utc --directisa

if that works with no errors, edit /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh

and change the line:

HWCLOCKPARS=

to

HWCLOCKPARS="--directisa"

and now you can syncronise date from /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh

# /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh

And then i try again to update my debian, eng ing eng....>

update success ;)
