Timezone setup for Chile

[Juan Lopez_3]

Hi
How can I setup timezone for Chile, I checked the /usr/lib/tztab but I could not find correct parameter.
Chile is in GMT-3 zone in this moment but this saturday will be GMT-4 and the idea is that the system can make it automatically, I mean every second saturday week of march goes from GMT-3 to GMT-4 and every second saturday week of october goes again to GMT-3.

thanks

Hi, thanks for the link...I was also checking again this problem and now I get this to put in the tztab:

CLST4CLDT

0 0 8-14 3 2004-2038 0 CLST4
0 0 8-14 10 2004-2038 0 CLDT3

what do u think about it ??..if I understand good everything this should work...and after I put this on tztab, what is the next step in order that the system can recognize this ??...

thanks,

Hi,

you should be able to do it with:
/sbin/set_parms timezone

greetings,

so, is it necessary a complete restart of the server ??...if it´s yes, there is not another solution without a restart ??
