need help setting time!

wmosley2 · #1 (**permalink**) 01-09-2004

I am trying to change the time on a Sun Solaris System, but I am having some difficulties. I thought by accessing the clock icon in the CDE would allow me to change the time. Also when I clicked the help icon I still could not fine any information.

To set the date/time, the best method is to use the date command.

Please read the date manpage for details.
