timeset (for Windows only)

timeset will help you if your computer is not able to keep the current time (CMOS battery has run out of power). Of course, you can buy a new battery and replace it. My tip: Save your money and time and use timeset

Build

make build

or (on Windows; otherwise this makes no sense)

make install

Usage

1. take the standard ntp server (pool.ntp.org)

timeset.exe 

2. specify ntp server as first argument

timeset.exe pool.ntp.org
# if your router acts as a time server for your local network
timeset.exe 10.10.1.1

3. Specify the time server in the name of the executable

timeset_ntp_pool_org.exe
# if your router acts as a time server for your local network
timeset_10_10_1_1.exe

!! timeset must be started with administrator rights (otherwise system time and date cannot be set) .!!!
