I believe that is wrong, the year goes last as far as im aware. Month, Day, hour, minute and Year, so date 071822522008

Code:
leon@leon-laptop:~$ sudo date 071822522008
Fri Jul 18 22:52:00 BST 2008
you cant set seconds so as soon as you hit enter on the command line, it reverts to 00 seconds

Not true; the seconds comes after the year; from the manual:

date [-u|--utc|--universal] [MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY][.ss]]

It would be absolutely bizarre if you couldn't set the seconds; and what would 'hwclock' tell the RTC?


All times are GMT -5. The time now is 06:22 PM.
