settz(8)							      settz(8)

NAME
       settz - Set system time zone information.

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/settz

DESCRIPTION
       The  settz  command sets the system time zone information, based on the
       current /etc/zoneinfo database  configuration.	If  the	 /etc/zoneinfo
       database	 is  not configured, it sets the system time information as if
       the database is	configured  to	a  Coordinated	Universal  Time	 (UTC)
       default.

       The  settz  command  does  the  following: Calls tzset() to get current
       default time zone information Ignores the TZ environment variable if  a
       value  is  set  for TZ Creates a struct timezone with time zone offset,
       and daylight savings information Calls settimeofday()

       The current system date and time are not changed.

       This command runs automatically when the system is entering a multiuser
       run  level. You should use it whenever you change the default time zone
       information with the zic command.

NOTES
       You must have superuser (root) privileges to use this command.
