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.

SEE ALSO
  Commands: timezone(3), tzset(3), timezone(8), zic(8)
