In this article, learn how to set time, timezone, and synchronize your Linux system clock with NTP using timedatectl, systemd-timesyncd, and chrony.
The ‘timedatectl‘ command is a utility for RHEL-based and Debian-based distributions, and it is a part of the ‘systemd‘ system and service manager, serving as a replacement for the old traditional date command used in ‘sysvinit‘ daemon-based Linux distributions.
The timedatectl command allows you to query and change the configuration of the system clock and its settings, you can use this command to set or change the current date, time, and timezone, or enable automatic system clock synchronization with a remote NTP server.
