Date and TimeZone

parolin franco — Tue, 14 Jan 2003 08:55:20 GMT

I have a System with hpux11.00
I set TimeZone and Date with set_parms in :
TimeZone=MET
/etc/TIMEZONE is :
TZ=MET-1METDST
export TZ
If I digit
date
the output is:
Tue Jan 14 09:53:13 MET 2003
If I digit
remsh marc date
the output is :
Tue Jan 14 08:53:51 WET 2003
Can I solve this problem?

Hi,

check if there is a TZ varible set in the .profile of the remsh user.

Or test what happened if you set the timezone:

set_parms in: TimeZone=MET
/etc/TIMEZONE is: TZ=MET-1METDST
# export TZ

and then do an:
# su -
# date

Maybe there exist a profile with a other timezone.
