Hi Lonnie,
thanks for your detailled response; I'll use the developer mailing list in
future.
Regarding the settings: I managed to overwrite the TIMEZONE settings in
"/mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/gui.network.conf" from my custom tab using a self made
parsing routine. This way I overwrite only the timezone setting, which is still
available in the network tab and on both tabs I see always the correct value.
Rebooting does the job: timezone is applied correctly.
Thank you so far; I'm very satisfied with the result.
Best regards

Betreff: Re: [Astlinux-users] Save timezone
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.
