/etc/localtime
I know when the system reboots, this file will be read to adjust the HW clock. But what if the system is up and running?
We have a box which a DST patch was installed but the localtime file was not updated. I am afraid the system clock will move forward next Sunday.

Re: /etc/localtime
The manpages for 'hwclock' in the section titled "Clocks in a Linux System" nicely explain this.

Re: /etc/localtime
cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/
You can check DST rules with zdump -v

Re: /etc/localtime
A possible solution to this would be to connect your system to an ntp time source. There probably is one on you network you can configure in ntp.conf
If you installed the DST patch and the system clock already moved forward its not going to do it again.
