| Issue |
I want to be able to set our PC for any U.S. time zone.
Currently, I know how to change
this line in the sysinit.1 file
x09export TZ=est05edt04,M4.1.0/2,M10.5.0/2
according to the time zone:
Eastern Standard Time (est, edt):x09est05edt04
Central Standard Time (cst, cdt):x09cst06cdt05
Mountain Standard Time (mst, mdt):x09mst07mdt06
Pacific Standard Time (pst, pdt): pst08pdt07
Questions:
*x09What do I enter for Alaska?
*x09For Hawaii?
*x09For Arizona (where daylight savings time is not observed)?

| Solution |
The following answers the question and follows with a breakdown of the answer.
(Alaska)x09
export TZ=AST9,< Any other settings you want>
Breakdown:x09
AST("Alaska Standard Time" Can be anything you want here. Could be TIM or anything that makes sence to you.)
9 (9 hours before UTC/GMT ),
< Any other settings you want> (The documentation gives examples for this in the "Establishing the time zone" section found at http://qdn.qnx.com/support/docs/qnx4/user_guide/install.html )
(Arizona)
export TZ=AST7,M4.1.0/2,M10.5.0/2
(Hawaii) x09
export TZ=HST10,M4.1.0/2,M10.5.0/2 |
