Change system clock using with chronyd

Firstly, check the status if the chronyd is started.

Note: depending on the environment, you can use “service” instead of “systemctl”

systemctl chronyd status

Stop the chronyd that is the daemon to sync the system clock.

systemctl chronyd stop

Set the time on the system clock to specified time.

date -s "04/26 16:24 2022"
date --set="04/26 16:24 2022"  # same with above

When you want to sync the system clock, run the command below.

systemctl chronyd start

And check the status just in case.

systemctl chronyd status
