Change date and time?

Hey all,

I've got a ZM setup and am trying to adjust the time (somehow it's out by about 10 mins) and when at the zm computer, I type 'help-zm' and it lists some commands, one of which is 'setup' - 'set the local timezone, keyboard type...'

however, when i type 'setup' it responds "-bash: setup: command not found"

this happens when logged on as both user and su.

P.S. I'm using putty to log into my ZM machine as it doesn't have a monitor attached to it.

Any ideas or other methods to change the time?

Cheers,
Jero aka Doak.

Nevermind!

I ended up finding this command on google which has worked :) "date --set="

Cheers,
Jero.

You can also usually use nptd which will keep your time correct continuously via Network Time Protocol.
