Setting HW/System clock in SliTaz 4

Since I installed my brand new SliTaz 4 in the SBC I'm currently using for development, system time shows a bit more than 3 hours offset regarding our Spanish local time (UTC + 1, with DST).

I'd like to set both HW and System clock so that they show the correct values.

I've been using hwclock with no success. It says I have no "--set" or "--date" options.

Coming to timezones, it uses to be manage by TZ environment variable. If I echo it, I get "UTC".

I would like to properly manage it as well.

Any hint?

Thanks a lot for being there!

Re: Setting HW/System clock in SliTaz 4

Sync system to timeserver,sync hardware clock to system:

[c]# busybox ntpd -dnqp north-america.pool.ntp.org && hwclock -w -u[/c]

Madrid is same timezone as Paris

Set timezone:

[c]# echo "Europe/Paris" > /etc/TZ[/c]

@mojo: The introduction of ntpd for time sync is brilliant, to say the least.

Thanks a lot for being there!

Kind regards,
