Stefan, For the case of TIMEZONE that is only set at system startup, look in"/etc/rc" to see how. It would be safest to do a system reboot ( look for systemREBOOT($myself, 10); in the code ) to make sure all time related daemons got the change.
To restart a service use the restartPROCESS( ... ) function, again look at the code on how it is used. While the ntpd daemon is 'ntpd' that only uses the TIMEZONE variable, not set it. As far as custom tabs overriding existing tabs settings, the key is to save the TIMEZONE variable to a file alphabetically *after* where is it normally saved. The Network tab is "/mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/gui.network.conf" so you might use "/mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/user.timezone.conf" for example. BTW, this kind of discussion is best over on the [Astlinux-devel] list.
