Hardware clock:
hwclock --set --date="06/10/03 17:50:00"

'Normal' clock:
date --set="Tue Jun 10 17:50:00"

See both manpages for details

Mate, you have signed up about 1.5 years ago,
and apparently have NEVER even tried to find
an answer yourself...

Learn to google, learn to use apropos (man -k).

man -k clock | grep [18]
man -k time | grep [18]

Cheers,
Tink

Thx,,,for your answer i know the apropos command (man -k)... I have checked them before posting here... Both of them returned nothing appropriate....

That strikes me as odd ... in Slack 8.1 and 9.1,
in debian 3 stable and testing and in RH server
it returns at least the hit for hwclock.

You should probably get a different distro?
