Who is tired of dealing with DST changes? I have asterisk running on FC4, FC4 has been patched and shows the correct MDT timezone and time. Email notifications of voicemail show the message time an hour early (standard time, not daylight). This si the time in the message body, not the email delivery time, so it is coming form asterisk wrong. I did a reload after correcting the time/timezone, but not a restart. Does the system need to be rebooted (or asterisk restarted?) or is there another way to get the application in sync with the OS. Could I be missing something else?

The safest bet is to reboot the computer. Each app usually gets its timezone info when it's started, so to get each program running on the machine to get the new DST info each process will need to be restarted (ie a reboot). -Dave

If you "fixed" the system time by etting the clock, rather than fixing the timezone definitions, you may get errors.

Putting a tz= in the voicemail config for each use as well as pointing that same entry to the /America/Denver zone info file corrects the issue, but I am assuming a reboot will also. The system is too busy to reboot in the middle of the day, so will confirm after an early morning restart. It seems (as stated by a previous responder) that asterisk (and many other apps) reads time zone info at startup, so a restart is required.
