Update the Date and Time in Ubuntu Operating System using commands.
Command
sudo date
- nn is a two digit month, between 01 to 12.
- dd is a two digit day, between 01 and 31, with the regular rules for days according to month and year applying.
- hh is two digit hour, using the 24-hour period so it is between 00 and 23.
- mm is two digit minute, between 00 and 59.
- yyyy is the year; it can be two digit or four digit: your choice. I prefer to use four digit years whenever I can for better clarity and less confusion.
- ss is two digit seconds. Notice the period ‘.’ before the ss.
Example
Let’s say
you want to set your computer’s new time to December 6, 2013, 22:43:55, then
you would use:
sudo date
120622432013.55
