Hi yogi

U can put it as an enviornment variable for each users. If it is not there then it takes from etc/default/tz.

There is a Itrc thread which disscuss about TZ variable in detail and Bill has mentioned about this variable clearly.

Hi

cd /etc
./set_parms timezone

or change /etc/TIMEZONE file

TZ=EST-10EDT
export TZ
this will set current time zone to Australia East standard time. This setting is system wide, I do not think each individaul users can set his/her own time zone

Usually after changing TZ you need to reboot the platform.

hi,

see /etc/profile (applies to most users)

somewhere it will refer to:
. /etc/TIMEZONE

hope this helps!

Timezone will be set using /etc/profile.

-- /etc/profile --

# Set the TIMEZONE

if [ -r /etc/TIMEZONE ]
then
. /etc/TIMEZONE
else
TZ=MST7MDT # change this for local time.
export TZ
fi

You can set user spefic with /etc/profile or .profile file using TZ enviornment variable.

hth.
