hwclock --hctosys
Set the System Time from the Hardware Clock.
hwclock --systohc
Set the Hardware Clock to the current System Time.
(see man hwclock) I use this alias in bashrc to set both
hardware and software clocks to a time server (U of Houston)
alias tdate="rdate -p -s tick.uh.edu && hwclock --systohc"
You'll probly need to install rdate, it's on your CD's. You'll
also need to find a public time server in your time zone (Google).
