TImezone problems

[RNC]

Hello all,

IS possible to change the TZ without reboot the system?, but no in the profile. I want to change it in /etc/TIMEZONE.
Where can I obtain the differents timezone for HP?, because I need the spanish timezone, and i don't know the mode to write it.

Thanks in advance

Hi,
try the set_parms command, it works fine...

Hi RNC,

I believe you use the same TIMEZONE as in the Netherlands.

# cat /etc/TIMEZONE
TZ=MET-1METDST
export TZ

Middle European Timezone, Daylight Saving Time

Barcelona

Amsterdam
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=16

Hope this helps,
Robert-Jan

hi,

no need to reboot.

to change the timezone system wide, execute the following:

1. set_parms timezone

2. When the menu appears, select the appropriate value.

If the output of the date command does not reflect the
correct timezone, simply export the TZ (timezone) variable.
For Example:

export TZ=EST5EDT

regards.
(p.s. please remember to assign points.)

add on,

# set_parms timezone

can be used to change the timezone, a reboot is advised.

Hi,

As far as I know, it is not possible to change the timezone without rebooting.
Commands and files, related to timezone:

man tztab

/usr/lib/tztab

/sbin/set_parms timezone


You can find the different timezones
