[unix-pc.general] PC7300/3B1 default timezone

rhg@cpsolv.CPS.COM (Richard H. Gumpertz) (02/02/90)

How can I get uucico logins to run with timezone CST (or CDT when
appropriate) instead of EST?  My Received: lines (added by rmail/smail) and
my UUCP log file entries are a pain to read when time-stamped with EST.  For
normal logins the TZ variable is set in /etc/profile but uucico doesn't look
at /etc/profile.  Do I have to build a wrap-around for uucico or is there a
way to change the default timezone that is used by users that don't run
/etc/profile?

I set my TZ variable in the file "/etc/rc".

in file /etc/rc:

...
TZ=`cat /etc/TZ`;export TZ
...

in file /etc/TZ:

EST5EDT
