I mean, when I set the date I always use date(1), but most of the time I use date(1) to format the date for scripts. If you want to set the date, you use the format date MMDDHHMM or date HHMM.

date set unable
Hello! I have a problem may be minor! I set the date back with an hour, looks fine, but if I want to see the current date, it's the same with the date before. I want to know why, please! Thanks!

I was recently dealing with a box that was several hours behind because I'd been too busy to set up NTP and I wasn't planning to have it on the 'Net that long anyway.
