Changing the system time zone

You can change the system time zone using the System Time Manager, located in the System directory of the SCOadmin hierarchy.

  1. Select Change Timezone from the Time menu.

  2. Select the ``Geographical area''. The screen is updated with selections appropriate for your location.

  3. Select the ``timezone'' for your location. If you cannot find your timezone, click on the Specify Unlisted Timezone button and provide the name, whether it is east or west of Greenwich Mean Time, and the hours and minutes from GMT.

  4. If applicable, select Yes or No for ``Daylight savings time''.


NOTE: Any users logged in (including root) during the timezone change operation will not see the change until they log out and log in again. This is because the timezone variable (located in /etc/TIMEZONE) is read at login time.
