Setting Timezone in Solaris 10
Posted by admin on 13 Apr 2009 | Tagged as: IT Stuff, Solaris, Timezone
Internally Solaris 10 uses UTC but for programmes that need local timezone information the system timezone is set in the file /etc/default/init (Note: The file /etc/TIMEZONE is a symlink to /etc/default/init).
To set the timezone in /etc/default/init you edit the TZ variable so that, for example:
TZ="Australia/Canberra"
The full list of timezones is in /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/
After changing the timezone you should restart the system.
