NAME
settimezone - set the local time zone
SYNOPSIS
set time zone
DESCRIPTION
settimezone provides a simple, menu-based method for setting
the local time zone. Changes take effect the next time you
log in. You must be superuser to run this command.
The NUX® system clock maintains Greenwich mean time (also
know as Universal Coordinated Time). Application programs use
time-zone information files to calculate the local time and, therefore,
the system must know the local time zone. In order to obtain
the correct local time, set timezone links the proper time zone
information file to /etc/zoneinfo/localtime and changes
the contents of the file /etc/TIMEZONE that is used to set the
T Z environment variable.
