List of all zones are in /usr/lib/tztab

Newyork is in Eastern standard Timezone. So you should be setting your /etc/TIMEZONE to EST5EDT

For vienna, Virginia again it is the same Estern. So, set the samething as the above.

Vienna, Austria would be CET-1CEST

hi guys,
Maybe there is a misunderstanding
I talking about the timezone-parameter
that can been view in /stand/system
or configured or view in SAM
=>kernel configuration
=> configurable parameter
there the value is in minutes (0 => 1440)
My real problem is Vienna(Austria)
What is the timezone I should set in Vienna
If my New York is 300(300/60 => 5 hours)
So What spose to be Vienna timezone
so they would be synchronize
I spose to go west to greenwich time ?

[Bill Hassell · Accepted solution]

The kernel parameter "timezone" is always minutes west (a positive integer). Since 24 hours would be 1440, 1 hour east of Greenwich would be 1380.

Note that timezone is used only by processes that do not inherit TZ in their environment.
