How to change time through commands?

[sathish 0]

Hi, I tried to change time using (sudo date -set='2020-01-22 19:57:00' ) command after active/inactive the ntp through (timedatectl set-ntp no). But after reboot given time/date not reflected, it will be on current time automatically. In raspberry pi first I will set ntp inactivate after that I will use date command to change time. But in asus tinker board its not reflecting.

 I followed this link also from asus doc https://tinker-board.asus.com/tw/doc_er.html . And I changed the time using timedatectl also but after reboot it changed back to updated time in few sec.

For Eg.

hello @sathish, 

if you'd like to change it permantly, you can use systemd-timesync only and remove ntp

enable systemd-service first:

sudo systemctl enable systemd-timesyncd.service

remove disable-with-time-daemon.conf as it's causing dependency conflict:

rm /lib/systemd/system/systemd-timesyncd.service.d/disable-with-time-daemon.conf

disable/ stop ntp:

sudo systemctl stop ntp
sudo systemctl disable ntp

you can check the result with

timedatectl

HI Tooz thanks for your suggestion, But I am not planning for permanent time change.

I want to  change the time/date whenever I want or whenever time/date wrong.
