[adva]

Hello all!

Edit the file /etc/TIMEZONE

 

[adva]

well i did!
but it doesn`t work - i think it needs to be compyled , no?

Have you rebooted since you changed the TZ variable ?

The init process reads this at boot time.

 

[adva]

is there anyway to compyle it without a reboot??

 

[trunix]

You could try the telinit command, which tells init to re-read its information, but I am not sure if it will reset the TZ variable.

 

[adva]

thanks!

Checkout man on "zic" timezone compiler to recompile timezone for immediate effect.
command is &quot;zic -v <file you have altered>
