set-date mm/dd/yy{yy} {(option)}
set-date dd mmm yy |
| Category | TCL |
| Type | Verb |
| Description |
sets the system software date, and optionally the system hardware clock.
In D3, the date displays automatically at the TCL prompt by simply pressing <return>, <enter> or <ctrl>+m. In R83, the "time" command displays the time and date. On D3/Unix implementations, the D3 system date is set as a difference from the Unix system date. Normally, the difference is zero, making both dates equal. Synonym for "set.date" and "set.dt". |
| Options | u Updates the hardware real-time clock, as well as the system software clock. (R83 only) |
| See Also | set-date-std set-time start.rtc pick-setup set-date-format system privileges start.rtc admin.control set-date-eur time |
| Example | set-date 01/01/97 |
| Warnings | In AP/Unix systems, this does NOT affect the Unix date. Changing the Unix date, however, changes the Pick system date as well. Use the Unix "!date" command to change the Unix date. If the virtual machine is stopped without using the Pick "shutdown" command, the new time and date are lost. |
