setclk(1M)                                                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 a
             privileged 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(1M) for the proper setting of
             the hardware clock].
