The time zone of the TMG3200 is configured on the Linux host using the tzselect command. The following is provided as a sample of how to configure a time zone:
|
[root@TB005375 ]# tzselect
Please identify a location so that time zone rules can be set correctly.
Please select a continent
1) Africa
2) Americas
Please select a country.
1) Anguilla
Please select one of the time zone regions.
1) Newfoundland Time, including SE Labrador
The following information has been given: Canada Eastern Time - Quebec - most locations Therefore TZ= ‘America/Montreal’ will be used. Local time is now: Wed Aug 19 08:49:01 EDT 2009. Universal time is now: Wed Aug 19 08:49:01 UDT 2009. Is the above information OK? 1) Yes 2) No
You can make this change permanent for yourself by appending the line TZ= ‘America/Montreal’; export TZ to the file ‘.profile’ in your home directory; then log out and log in again. Here is the TZ value again, this time on standard output so that you can use the /usr/bin/tzselect command in the shell script America/Montreal [root@TB005373 ]#
