How to change the TIMEZONE?

[Chen Yingjie]

We have testing server configured as HONGKONG server, but its timezone was set as Singpore Local Time.
(The OS is HP-UX 11.00)

Please advice us how to change it.

Thanks

hi,

Hi,

Use 'set_parms timezone' to get it changed.
Timezone is simply relative. A user can change his/her timezone anytime by export TZ variable.

Above command will change the timezone systemwide.

The correct way is to use the set_parms script

# set_parms timezone

A good way of checking is have a look at the /etc/TIMEZONE file after the change. You could also manually change the /etc/profile file to use the same timezone should you wish.

#set_parms timezone

should be the case

I think it will require a reboot for to take the timezone into effect.

Plan a downtime

Be aware that the man page for 'set_parms timezone' states that a reboot is required.

# man set_parms

Hi,
Hongkong and Singapore are in same time zone.What is your problem?
check the file /etc/TIMEZONE
TZ=SST-8
export TZ

the in you /etc/profile
# Set the TIMEZONE

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