The command to use is time.

'time' is used for timing the execution of a command. I don't think that's what you where asking. You can use the 'date' command for setting the time and the date.

Ex.

date 052408002002.00

The format is "mmddHHMM[[cc]yy][.ss]", but 'man date' should explain all that.


All times are GMT -5. The time now is 01:58 AM.
