Uporabi program date.

Ampak pozor: uro moras nastaviti v dveh korakih, pa se to bo slo le v
okviru natancnosti kaksne sekunde.

Recimo, ce hoces nastaviti uro na 17. januar 2000 ob 9:24:33, potem gre
takole:

date -s 2000-01-17
date -s 09:24:33

Ce ti tvoja masina zabluzi le z letom, dan, mesec, uro, minuto in
sekundo pa ti nastavi pravilno, potem lahko naredis eno avtomatiko, ki ti
popravi le leto (kot primer glej skripto v prilogi).

Peace!

# month, day, hour, minute and second are set correct. Therefore we should
# get the date from SRM, set it back by 48 years, if it seems to be
# necessary, and set the date. Then we rely on NTP or some other mechanism
# to get date and time precise.

# Check, if we have to fiddle with date. If the year is way too big, we
# have to do it.
#
# date only supports to set time to one minute precission. We don't want to
# sleep for whole minute (in worst case) to get it precise. Therefore time
# must be corrected using NTP or something.
