settimezone(1M)                                   settimezone(1M)



     NAME
          settimezone - set the local time zone

     SYNOPSIS
          settimezone

     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 A/UX(Reg.) system clock maintains Greenwich mean time
          (also know as Universal Coordinated Time).  Application pro-
          grams 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 TZ environment vari-
          able.
