you want to the Hardware Clock while the system is running, and the next
time Linux starts up, it will do so with the adjusted time from the Hardware
-Clock. You can also use the program
-.BR adjtimex (8)

But don't be misled -- almost nobody cares what timezone the kernel
.IR "hwclock \-\-hctosys" ,

-To see if it is on or
-off, use the command
-.I adjtimex \-\-print
-and look at the value of "status". If the "64" bit of this number
-(expressed in binary) equal to 0, 11 minute mode is on. Otherwise, it
-is off.

If your system runs with 11 minute mode on, don't use
.I hwclock \-\-adjust
or
.I /proc/cpuinfo
