title: Android terminal command to get the current date
body: <p>I am developing on MK808 android stick, I need to set the timezone and date.</p>
  
  <p>For setting the timezone I use -> su -c setprop persist.sys.timezone "America/Chicago"</p>
  
  <p>This command works fine but it won't change the device clock at that time itself I need to reboot my device. After device gets rebooted the device time is changed to CST as expected.</p>
  
  <p>I tried executing command "date" to get the current date. My question is the date which I get from that command should be offset to daylight savings or its not required to offset?</p>
  
  <p>Can someone tell me a solution to eliminate the device reboot after I change the timezone?? So that my device clock should be changed once I change the timezone. </p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
