Need tool for correct the Daylight Saving Time

[SatWaveDude]

Hi,

I'm looking for a tool that automaticaly corrects the Daylight Saving Time of a Linux system.

At the moment I only can think of a Network Time Protocol (NTP) client.

Since Linux is not my strongest I need some help

Re: Need tool for correct the Daylight Saving Time

If you set your hardware clock to UTC, the daylight saving time will change automatically.
You don't need anything else.

Perhaps your hardware clock has failed, as when you switched the PC off, it uses that clock to track the time.

However,I believe there are command lines for this anyway...

Time is automatically set from the received transponder.
If correctly configured time zone, everything is fine.

No it is not a hardware clock failure.
It does NOT update automaticaly the time.

I have used this and all works okay now:

apt-get install ntpdate

/etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate

Friends thought that you can not set the DST in your tuner receiver

@SatWaveDude - Which Linux distribution do you use?

Re: Need tool for correct the Daylight Saving Time

I use Debian 6.0.5

It's not on a receiver but on a PC platform.
