Hi, Changing the time can be done by root executing /usr/sbin/ntpd. It will depend on the /etc/ntp.conf file having functioning ntp servers.
ntpd -n -g -g will set the time and not fork (-n option). It logs to stdout or stderr and this output can be seen by the user. When the time and date is ok, use ^C to stop the program. This command can be necessary with all computers that don't have a real time clock. e.g. The Raspberry PI computers. It may be worthwhile for owners to modify the startup script to start the ntpd daemon with the -g -g options as standard. This is done by adding or modifying the ntpd_flags variable : in /etc/rc.d/ntpd The long term solution is to make sure ntpd is running as a daemon by modifying the /etc/rc.conf file and adding ntpd_enable="YES" ntpd can then be started on the command line with the command service ntpd start Greetings, _______________________________________________ freebsd-doc@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-doc To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-doc-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
