To set the date, time, and timezone on a FreeBSD system, you can use the date
command and the tzsetup
utility.
To set the date and time, you can use the date
command with the -s
option followed by the desired date and time in the format YYYYMMDDhhmm.ss
. For example:
date -s "202104011230.00"
This will set the date and time to April 1, 2021 at 12:30:00.
To set the timezone, you can use the tzsetup
utility. To start the utility, you can use the following command:
tzsetup
This will display a menu that allows you to select your timezone. You can use the arrow keys to navigate the menu and select your timezone, then press Enter
to set the timezone.
It's important to note that you may need to have root privileges to use the date
command and the tzsetup
utility.
For more information about using the date
command and the tzsetup
utility, you can refer to the date
manual page and the tzsetup
manual page. For example:
man date
man tzsetup
