temporary modification of date

Goodmorning,

I have a server with solaris 2.6 installed.

Is it possible modify system date only temporary that, automatically, after a reboot, I can have again the date after the temporary mofication?

I don't want to use "date" command after reboot for tidy up date. I only want to find a way for temporary modify date.

Thanks

No there is no way to do it other than using datae twice

Configure ntpdate in a startup script. It'll query the time server(s) you designate and sync it.
