Which is why I always symlink /etc/localtime Not only does it solve these issues, but it makes it very clear which timezone is selected! -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of Aleksandar Milivojevic Sent: Monday, November 07, 2005 2:45 PM To: centos at centos.org Subject: Re: [CentOS] New Standard/Daylight time-change

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.

Hi all, A problem with tests while building R. I'm packaging R for Sisyphus repository and package build environment, by design, doesn't have /etc/localtime file present. This causes failure with Sys.timeone during test run: [builder at localhost tests]$ ../bin/R --vanilla < reg-tests-1d.R > ## PR#17186 - Sys.timezone() on some Debian-derived platforms > (S.t <-

Sorry for the extra info required, but I had digest mode turned on and wouldn't have received the mailing till tomorrow. I have since updated the data manually, but after 'yum update tzdata' was run, the zdump -v for EST5EDT and America/New_York all still showed a date of April 1, instead of March 11. After manually fixing, it is correct. This was mostly a question about why yum

Hi list. Does "yum update tzdata" update /etc/localtime or does this need to be done manually?

I tried several ways of telling the lda or whatever is setting up the INTERNALDATE to use the CEST +0200. Although it is already setup on the server via a symlink from /etc/localtime to

(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

Help Andrew! and whoever else.. I have a Linux Mandrake 7.2 box with Samba 2.07 acting as a timeserver for our local lan. We are in the CST timezone. All windows boxes sync thier time from the Linux box via: net time \\Nemesis /set /yes. I would like to have xntp keep the clock on the server updated. Problem: ntpdate and xntp work great at setting the Linux box hardware clock to GMT. The

Hi there, Maybe another bug? I have the following in site.pp: $localtime = $domain ? { "example.org" => "/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Madrid", default => "/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Madrid" } If I take this away and put it in another file, and then import that file, I get the following error: err: Cannot reassign variable localtime in file
