Subject: Re: Adjust time by 30 seconds
Junaidi,
While there is no way to incrementally set the time in 4.3.3 you can
definitely set it to the second. The second usage field shows you how to do
it.
Say the current date/time is "Wed Jan 14 09:30:45 EST 2004" and you want to
set the time back 30 seconds. Simply use date in the following fashion:
date 01140930.1504
This will set the time back to "09:30:15" while keeping the date of "Jan 14
2004"
