SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       /usr/sbin/settz

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  settz  command sets the system time zone information,
       based on the current /etc/zoneinfo database configuration.
       If  the  /etc/zoneinfo database is not configured, it sets
       the system time information as if the database is  configured
 to a Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) default.

       The settz command does the following: Calls tzset() to get
       current default time zone information Ignores the TZ environment
 variable if a value is set for TZ Creates a struct
       timezone with  time  zone  offset,  and  daylight  savings
       information Calls settimeofday()

       The current system date and time are not changed.

       This  command runs automatically when the system is entering
 a multiuser run level. You should use it whenever  you
       change the default time zone information with the zic command.
