[question] how to set the date using busybox

[piotr.lewicki]

Hello,
I'm using busybox v1.24.1 and I have a problem with setting the date 
using date command.
Normally it should work with:

date -s @'1271251273'

with -s for setting, and the date format in seconds from epoch (one you 
can get with "date +%s")

The command above is returning the proper date (in this case Wed Apr 14 
13:21:13 UTC 2010) but it does not set the new date, i.e. next execution 
of "date" is displaying the old date.

I'm 100% sure that this was working with busybox 1.18.5 because I'm 
using that on the other board.

Is this possible that I have found a bug?

Let me know how to set the date using seconds from epoch.


Thank you,
