Time
 

How do I fix the time on Redhat 7.2? The time on my server is off. What file do I edit?

type:

man date

then you'll know the date parameters to enter to correct your time.

You can also sync your hardware clock (the one in your bios) and the software clock as follows :

"hwclock --systohc" (system clock -> hardware clock)
"hwclock --hctosys" (hardware clock -> system clock)

hwclock
 

If you want your computer to keep accurate time I suggest that you take a look at hwclock.
man hwclock

If you want to sync with an interent time server then look at ntpdate and rdate.

i don't feel secure enough with myself to type
man date
on my computer.
wait, there i did it. that wasn't so bad.
woman date is better though.
