Re: Changing TimeZone

[Jeff Cheeney <jeffery.cheeney@Central>]

FOlks,

I believe that you may be able to solve the timezone problem by just
changing the TZ environment variable. (this worked for me running Solaris
2.6)

For example:

%echo $TZ
US/Mountain

#causes the known PilotManager message about not being able to run

#if I do this in ksh

% export TZ=MST7MDT

# corrects the problem and PilotManager works just fine.

Hope it helps ....
