Change Timezone

[DELETRE]

Hello,
I work in time domain and I have to change timezone in HP servers. The only solution I found is to change TZ in "/etc/TIMEZONE" file and restart the server.
Does anyone of you know another solution less hard or is it the only one.
Thank you for answer.
F.D.

Hi Deletre,

You can use the command
set_parms timezone for a server level change.

For users:

all local => set TZ in the /etc/profile file
individual => set TZ in the users's home dir .profile or .dtprofile

Hi,

I am afraid you will have to reboot the server in order to all the processe to use the new timezone (cron, database....)

You can use :
# set_parms timezone

Hi:

Actually, all you need to do is:
TZ=CST6CDT (or whatever desired TZ)
export TZ

The file you refer to only sets the system-wide default TZ but remember that TZ is simply a variable for a given process. All UNIX boxes in the known universe simply count seconds since Jan 1, 1970; TZ only determines how time is DISPLAYED. It is perfectly okay for multiple processes to have different TZ setttings.

Man environ for details.

Hi,

You can set the time zone and export it:

/etc/TIMEZONE:

TZ=EST5EDT
export TZ

Check it with env command. You can also use 'set_parms' too.

Read this document - how hp-ux determines the timezone:

Hi,

What shiju says it right. For you i would suggest that since you are new to this, use the command

set_parms timezone.

You can also do this using SAM which would be very very helpful to you.

PS : Dont' forget to award points for people who try to help you. I have also started doing this for people who help me.
