Which command is used to manage the time and date settings on your system?

The command "timedatectl" is indeed used to manage time and date settings on a Linux system, particularly in systems using systemd. This command allows users to view and change the system clock and its timezone settings easily. It can also enable or disable network time synchronization, making it a comprehensive tool for time management.

While "date" shows the current date and time, it is primarily for viewing rather than managing settings. Similarly, "ntpdate" is used to synchronize the system clock with a remote NTP server, but it does not manage settings directly. "hwclock" interacts with the hardware clock, allowing you to read or set the time stored in the hardware clock, but again, it does not cover all aspects of time and date management as comprehensively as "timedatectl." Thus, for a complete management approach, "timedatectl" is the appropriate choice.
