I have written a Python script that is set to run different functions at different days/times. I would like to test it by setting the system clock to 1-2 minutes before the dates/times that the Python script is scheduled.

What is the best way to manually change the time on my Raspberry Pi?

Do I need to disable the NTP service? If so, how?

Did you find a way to do this? If so, consider posting an answer to your own question, I think it would be quite helpful to have an answer here. Thanks! Also, I have a slightly related question: Recommended way for a python script to check NTP update status, and initiate an update if necessary? – uhoh Mar 14 '18 at 08:05
