NAME
       TIMEZONE - set default system time zone and locale

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/TIMEZONE
       /etc/default/init

DESCRIPTION
       This  file  sets the time zone environment variable TZ, and the locale-
       related environment variables LANG, LC_COLLATE, LC_CTYPE,  LC_MESSAGES,
       LC_MONETARY, LC_NUMERIC, and LC_TIME.

       /etc/TIMEZONE is a symbolic link to /etc/default/init.

       The   number   of   environment	 variables   that   can	 be  set  from
       /etc/default/init is limited to 20.

       The format of the file is:

       VAR=value

       where VAR is a timezone environment variable and	 value	is  the	 value
       assigned to the variable. value can be enclosed in double quotes (") or
       single quotes ('). The double or single quotes cannot be	 part  of  the
       value.

SEE ALSO
       init(1M), rtc(1M), ctime(3C), environ(5)

NOTES
       When  changing  the  TZ	setting on x86 systems, you must make a corre‐
       sponding change to the /etc/rtc_config file  to	account	 for  the  new
       timezone	 setting.  This can be accomplished by executing the following
       commands, followed by a reboot, to make the changes take effect:

       # rtc -z zone-name
       # rtc -c

       where zone-name is the same name as the TZ variable setting.

       See rtc(1M) for information on the rtc command.
