NAME
rdate —
set the system's date from a remote
host
SYNOPSIS
rdate |
[-psa] host |
DESCRIPTION
rdate displays and sets the local date and time from the
host name or address given as the argument. It uses the RFC 868 protocol which
is usually implemented as a built-in service of
inetd(8).
Available options:
-p- Do not set, just print the remote time
-s- Do not print the time.
-a- Use the adjtime(2) call to gradually skew the local time to the remote time rather than just hopping.
FILES
- /var/log/wtmp
- A record of date resets and time changes.
