setclk(1M)            UNIX System V(Essential Utilities)             setclk(1M)


NAME
      setclk - set system time from hardware clock

SYNOPSIS
      /sbin/setclk

DESCRIPTION
      setclk is used to set the internal system time from the hardware time-
      of-day clock.  The command can be used only by the super-user.  It is
      normally executed by an entry in the /etc/inittab file when the system is
      initialized at boot time.  Note that setclk checks the Nonvolatile Random
      Access Memory (NVRAM) only for the date.  If the date is set, setclk runs
      silently.  If the date is not set, setclk prompts the user to use sysadm
      datetime [see sysadm(1)] for the proper setting of the hardware clock.
