How can we change the timezone

[AdRao]

Our HP-UX 11iv3 (IA) system shows the time zone CDT. Need to change to CST.

Currently our system shows:
#date
Tue Apr 13 14:15:18 CDT 2010

Need to change to CST.

Attached our /usr/lib/tztab file.

Kindly help with the right procedure.

Thnx,
Rao

HI Roa,

You can user set_parms timezone to select the required time zone.

#set_parms timezone

The timezone is automatically translated by the TZ variable contents. You can use set_parms but it is easier to just edit the file:

/etc/TIMEZONE

and change it to:

TZ=CST6CDT
export TZ

Note also that users in other timezones that use this machine can set the TZ value to their local timezone and the date will be adjusted automatically.

Is this for Australia? If you have the correct tztab(4) it should set the correct timezone.
CST-9:30CDT ?

Hi,

Command set_parms or you can use SAM,
I would you SAM is the best tool to do this.
