date/time from remote node

Hi,
I tried to get date and time from a remote node via qnet in the
following way:

on -f node2 date “+%d %m %y %H %M %S” | date

This did not work, any suggestion to get it?
Thanks for ideas,
Werner

Yes, leave off the nonsensical “| date” part at the end…

Sorry, what I meant was: to get time and date from remote node and set
this value on the local node.

I don’t think date reads from standard input. How about this:

date on -f node2 date "+%d %m %y %H %M %S"

How about

rtc net node2

And if you want to keep the clocks closely synchronized
all the time, ntpd is highly recommended.

Hi,
thanks for your ideas.
‘rtc net node2’ works good for me.
