Apologies for being late to the party with this... I finally found my old notes on this re: helping out a blind friend fix his centos box... log in as root cd /usr/share/timezone cd /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/ cp Los_Angeles /etc/localtime /usr/bin/rdate -s time.nist.gov /sbin/hwclock --systohc For more details, go to http://wiki.ehow.com/Change-the-Timezone-in-Linux - rh -- Robert

I can't reboot a server to set the hardware clock to UTC time, but CentOS was installed with the assumption that the PC was running UTC. Is it possible to update the hardware clock to the right time and therefore allow CentOS to maintain the right time without rebooting? I am hoping to use this route for consistency versus changing how CentOS interprets the time so all servers are the same.

Hi. I run peridocally (from cron) on all of my machines 30 * * * * root /sbin/hwclock --systohc All of those machines in question take their time via NTP from the same local server, and that server gets its time from a ntp pool. Now I had to reboot a couple of them two days ago and to my surprise all had problems with the time upon booting. Here are the important files: [root at XXXXXX ~]

I installed CentOS 5 on a server today (wiping clean the drive which had 4.4 on it). During installation I picked the correct timezone, location and all. Yet, upon booting the machine, it seems to think that it's 6 hours earlier than it really is. The BIOS has the correct time and date on it. /etc/locatime was originally what /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Denver would've

Hi, I have a Centos 5.5 server with no GUI installed. I have several times changed the timezone by copying the correct file to /etc/localtime, however something keeps changing it back. I'm not sure if this is a yum update or what. Without installing the graphical tools, how can I update the timezone in such a way that the /etc/localtime file won't keep getting clobbered. Thank

hey list! having a slightly odd time issue on one host... can I get some help with this? This is the current time from a working system: Sun Apr 17 00:28:18 EDT 2011 However from the problem system this is the time: Sat Apr 16 20:30:01 EDT 2011 I have set the time zone as such: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Apr 16 19:41 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST But when I run ntpdate

Just upgraded 4.7 to 4.8 stable. Hoped that timezone info will be up to date, but it still isn't though files in /usr/share/zoneinfo show new dates. For instance daylight saving time settings are outdated in Europe/Vilnius file. I'll try to recompile those files from sources got fom ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/ but it would be nice to have updated info for the next release of freebsd or

I have a couple questions... I am in Indiana and our time zone is changing. I used to choose America/Indiana/Indianapolis as the zone and we are changing to Eastern. Question 1) Is there a command line only way to change my timezone? I dont have access to X to run system-config-time. Doing a "system-config-time --help" or "system-config-time -h" did not give any information.

(I reported the test failure mentioned below to R-help but was advised that this list is the right one to address the issue; in the meantime I investigated the matter somewhat more closely, including searching recent R-devel postings, since I haven't been following this list.) Last May there were two reports here of problems with Sys.timezone, one where the zoneinfo directory is in a

Hi, I have a website in production wich uses a lot of date and time calculations to show specific information. The timezone of my hosting service (Dreamhost) is PDT, and the timezone of my potential clients is CEST. There are 9 hours of difference between them. Is there an environment variable that I could adjust in my rails application, so all date/time values be set to CEST timezone? Thanks.

Hello, Please excuse me if this question has been asked before. I'm new to R, and have been trying to google the answers without any success. I would like to convert a set of date and time into R date-time class. Right now, the dates and times are in integer format, so I first need to convert them into string, and then to R date-time using strptime. However, I have a problem converting them

Hello Everyone, The timezone is set correctly on the OS America/Toronto: mv /etc/localtime /etc/localtime.bak cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Toronto /etc/localtime I even tried adding the timezone setting to sip.conf: timezone=America/Toronto However.

Hi, I'm wondering what's the right value for specifying "America/New_York" time zone on a windows machine? I got my code which specify this time zone on as.POSIXct function work properly with this value on a linux machine. But it keeps giving me complaint on windows. Thank you. Cheers, Robert

Is there a package to do this? Normally the hardware clock is set during shutdown if one is running ntpd. But if a long-running server shuts down unexpectedly, this isn't done, and the hardware clock might be off by a lot when it comes back up. So setting it periodically from a cron job could be useful. What do others do? Adding a one liner to /etc/cron.daily that invokes

Hi all, I have been using Red Hat for a very long time and run CentOS 4 on some of my production servers. One of the things that has bugged me for a long time is the fact in the Time Zone configuration there is not a selection for UTC or GMT. As a work around I have been linking the /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC which works, but when Yum auto updates to a new version it
