You would need to change the date of the server for this to be effective. Setting the system clock to April 2017 would do the trick, but that might have unwanted impact. Additionally you would need to check if an NTP sync is run at any point (usually boot, but potentially elsewhere) as that could set the system clock back the real time (let's not get into the philosophical debate about whether time is real though
)
Would this help? If not, can you explain why this would be a problem?
Kind regards,
Robin

Our aix unix box did not recognize daylight savings time since it was moved up. Could someone please give me the syntax to change the hour? I looked in man and couldn't find anything, or I missed it. I'm in 3rd grade so if you can, please provide specific instructions.

CLOCK(1) General Commands Manual CLOCK(1)
NAME
clock - display the time in an icon or window
SYNOPSIS
clock
AVAILABILITY
This command is available with the OpenWindows environment. For information about installing OpenWindows, refer to the OpenWindows Instal-
lation and Start-Up Guide.
DESCRIPTION
clock is an OpenWindows XView utility that displays the current time in a window or icon. When the window is open, clock can display the
time in either analog or digital format. The clock window is scalable in either format.
USAGE
When the clock window is open, it has a floating menu from which you can bring up a property window. From this property sheet, you can
modify the display of the tool by selecting either the Analog or Digital choice box.
Seconds:
On the analog version, this selection starts a second hand on the face of the clock. On the digital version, it adds two dig-
its to the digital readout.
Date:
Turns on a date display for both analog and digital versions of clock.
BUGS
If you reset the system time, clock will not reflect the new time until you change its window state from open to icon, or vice versa. To
reset the system time, see date (1V).
The date display does not go well with the round clock face.
Occasionally, when clock is uncovered, the face will be visually corrupted. Use the Refresh button from the frame menu to repair.
