Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Right way to change time for a RHEL server Post 302752451 by RHCE on Monday 7th of January 2013 03:51:48 AM

Right way to change time for a RHEL server

I had the query of what would be the right approach to change the time on the RHEL server. I have the following ways to do that:

1)
Code:
# date -s "2 OCT 2006 18:00:00"

Or
Code:
 
# date --set="2 OCT 2006 18:00:00"

2)
Code:
 
# date +%Y%m%d -s "20081128"

The second option though would only change the date but not the time.

I hope, my query is clear about what is the right way to change time for a RHEL server.

Please revert with the reply to my query.

Regards

NAME
Locale::Language - standard codes for language identification SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Language; $lang = code2language('en'); # $lang gets 'English' $code = language2code('French'); # $code gets 'fr' @codes = all_language_codes(); @names = all_language_names(); DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Language" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying languages, such as those as defined in ISO 639. Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 639 two- letter codes will be used. SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying languages. The ones currently supported are: alpha-2 This is the set of two-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 639, such as 'he' for Hebrew. This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_LANG_ALPHA_2". This is the default code set. alpha-3 This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) bibliographic codes from ISO 639, such as 'heb' for Hebrew. This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_LANG_ALPHA_3". term This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) terminologic codes from ISO 639. This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_LANG_TERM". ROUTINES
