tzdata

<< < (3/4) > >>

maro:
For those who would like to create their own POSIX TZ string I want to mention a page which once helped me as I needed to adjust my VOIP gateway: http://leaf.sourceforge.net/doc/buci-tz.html
It also contains a link to the "official" reference (which might be better reading for some).

OTOH one could execute "tail -1 FILENAME" where FILENAME is choosen from the files in /usr/local/share/zoneinfo (obviously after installing the tzdata extension at least once).

Jeff W:
Forgive my question but I'm an inquisitive idiot.  Is there a method to change the timezone while operating and have it persist without rebooting with tz set as a boot parameter?

gerald_clark:
Copy the correct zone file from the the tzdata extension to /etc/localtime.
Add etc/localtime to /opt/.filetool.lst.
Edit .profile, and add 'unset TZ'
Backup
Reboot

Jeff W:
Let me be clear.  LOL  Is there a method to change the timezone while operating and have it take the change immediately without requiring a reboot?  I think I understand what changes are necessary to have it persist past reboot.
