Sorry.  I thought it could do both: "hwclock is a tool for accessing the 
Hardware Clock.  You can display the current time, set the Hardware Clock 
to a specified time, set the Hardware Clock to the System Time, and set 
the System Time from the Hardware Clock."

I just came to Linux Mint from Gentoo, where there was a /etc/conf.d/clock 
file that was easy to alter, but I don't see such a beast in Ubuntu.
