tz not working - GMT/EST

[QuietDean]

Hi,

Sco Unix 5.05, all patched up (I am told by our engineer).

However, the timezone keeps resetting to EST. It should be GMT!

I run through the tz script, and /etc/TIMEZONE gets updated with the correct details. However, it doesn't change the timezone visible in asktime, so I tried a reboot and its exactly the same.

Anyone seen anything like this before? Thanks. Dean Owen

Did you try scoadmin system time manager?

 

[QuietDean]

Good answer, it tried in there, and thought it had cracked it.

I changed the locale to europe and the timezone to GMT.

I then logged out+in.

Still EST! argh.

Any ideas, anyone? Any other files I can look at? Dean Owen

Since it changed back when you logged in and out...
Does it change for all users?
check your profiles for a manual setting of TZ
check /etc/initscript for the execution of /etc/TIMEZONE

Hi,
Did you check the line inside the /etc/TIMEZONE.
It must end with an export TZ

Regards,

Hmm. The initscript & the profiles I havent looked at. Thanks Stan! I'll do it tommorow in work.

Chris - Yep, its got the export, but thanks for the ideas.

Tricky bugger, this one/
