changing sys clock (PST to UTC)
Hi
I'm trying to change my sys clock from PST to UTC.
I've read the man date page
it helpfully says :-
-u, --utc, --universal
print or set Coordinated Universal Time
as root I have tried date --universal, date -u, date --utc,
I have checked the /etc/sysinfo/clock file the variable HWCLOCK="-u" is set and I've deleted the local time variable settings.
Any ideas why it's not working? What have I forgotten?
Thanks
