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 the super-user.
         It is normally executed by an entry in the /sbin/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.
