I have found some documented examples of using "clock" and "hwclock" (it's amazing what you find after a computer break:-) , but they still do not seem to work (and give the same I gave previously). I have tried the following:
hwclock --set --date="7 Jul 2003 14:32" hwclock --set --date="07 Jul 2003 14:32" clock --set --date="7 Jul 2003 14:32" clock --set --date="07 Jul 2003 14:32"
AFAIK these commands are valid, can anybody tell me why they might not be OR does anybody know of a statically linked binary of a network time program?
TIA Brett
