[SOLVED] Set time to synchronized via command line in ubuntu

Issue

Below is an image that shows how to set the time automatically from Internet via GUI

I'm trying to write a bash scripts that sets the time the same way as if one does this via GUI

However, I cannot find the proper command line that does so.

thanks in advance

Solution

Please check out timedatectl, which is the systemd standard way to configure the time zone and time server. Documentation is below:
