Setting the Time Manually

Adjust System Time
If you only wish to synchronize your clock when the device boots up, you can use
ntpdate
. This
may be appropriate for some devices which are frequently rebooted and only require
infrequent synchronization.
Using ntpdate at boot time is also a good idea for devices that run ntpd. The ntpd program
changes the clock gradually, whereas ntpdate sets the clock, no matter how great the
difference between a device's current clock setting and the correct time.

request to a remote NTP server.

to update the system time.
