how to change system date in linux

his morning i need to change system date in linux to test one of my application. Too bad i’m not familiar with command line command linux. So after googling for sometime, i manage to find out how to change system date in Linux using command line.

To change system date in linux, type:-

For example: i want to change my system date to Jun 29 2006, 3.30pm, i will type:-
