Setting Date and Time
Occasionally, it may be necessary to reset the MCC system date and/or time.
Unix handles both daylight savings time and leap years by automatically
changing the time or date, so normally no manual time adjustments are
required.
Note: Changing the year requires additional steps. If the year needs to
be changed, consult the Unix man pages on the date command.
To change the date or time:
1.
Enter single user mode by shutting down the system and, at the “>>>”
prompt, entering “boot -s”.
2. On the MCC system console, log in with user id “root”.
3. Enter the date command:
date mmddhhnn
where mm=month, dd=day, hh=hour, and nn=minutes
4. When the prompt returns, verify the date/time is correct by repeating the
date command with no values after it:
date
5. Logout by typing
exit.
