Title How to set European Time Zone in QNX4?
Ref. No. QNX.000003835
Category(ies) Utilities
Issue In the sysinit.node file. To specify the TZ of Eastern Standard time of america where:
x09x09-standard time zone = -5
x09x09-daylight saving time = -4
I am specifying to the TZ the following string:

x09export TZ=EST5EDT4,M4.1.0/3,M10.5.0/3

how would I specify the time zone for paris where :
x09-standard time zone = +1
x09-daylight saving time = +2

this is assuming the hardware clock is set to GMT time  and that each time the sysinit.node starts, I export the TZ then I do a rtc -l hw

What should the string for the time zone in France look like ? Right now every number I put in it are number deducted from the time I set in the GMT .
Solution On the Europe side of the International Date Line, the numbers have to be negative. Hence:

export TZ=TIM-1FRA-2,...<same as before>...
