Ok, here's another good one. I want to change the timezone of our machine from PST to MST. I have tried the man pages, but they don't talk about timezones at all. Anyone know how to do this? Should I just move to the pacific coast? Charles -- !===========================================================================! ! Charles H.

Try "settimezone". Really! If you are looking for *anything* on your A/UX system you should ask "apropos" first. # apropos timezone settimezone(1M) - set the local time zone It works for me. BTW, make sure that the local time is set correctly (with the date command) before you change the timezone. Some people adjust the time and *then* notice that the TZ is wrong. -- -ped- . Paul E.

Really! 4 In case Paul's note wasn't clear, the correct sequence is: 6 Become root Run /etc/settimezone to set the proper time zone Restart If the time still isn't correct, use the date command to set the time (you'll have to be logged in as root). 2 For more details, see the section "Setting the system time" in A/UX Local System Administration, page 2-26.

Opps. I slipped up. You don't need to Restart after running settimezone. Just loggin out and logging in again is sufficient.
