I'm setting the system clock using the following command:
date -s "31 DEC 2015 12:00:00"
Immediately after executing I run just date
and see that the date and time is December 31 2015. Then, after waiting about three seconds, I run date
again and see that it has changed back to today's date.
Why is it syncing again to the current date and how can I stop it?
[root@localhost mm]# date -s "31 DEC 2015 12:00:00"
